Radar equipped escorts

I think because in any SH serie, AI can only use one sensor at a time. Might be hard coded anyway.

Thanks, I'm aware of that game limitation. Logic would think it would be using it's radar in that case then; stronger sensor vs. visual ?
I.e. what would be the point of having radar if it's not being used ?

I think ships are using radar when bad visibility/fog to track targets...or even at night maybe (but visual sensor probably takes the job)
Might also depends what mega mod you are running. Don’t know if some mega mod handles that.

If so, that's disappointing. Been running GWX and NYGM. The more time I spend with the game, the lower opinion I have of the AI.


Basic flaws.

Try "Elite" setting in "Properties" in SH3 Mission Editor if playing SP.

I'll do that. That make the escort crews have an elite rating ?

Of course, elite or not, the escorts should still be using their radar.
