AI and radar.

Air attacking only with Bombs-equipped. (What do you think are BombDummi is good for?) Even a Swordfish, which is not equipped with Radar in my install for the entire war, will attack my sub out of LongRange if something else, for example a Catalina with Radar has detected my sub.

I would say if this is the case, you have a broken install. Broken or misconfigured.

This is exactly what happen in my install. Yea, i was very impressed where i was gunned from different directions for the first time in an early GWX not seen any target-ships around me.
I have not seen AotD by myself, so i cannot compare its behavior.

I would say: GWX.
No, i dont use GWX v3. Only parts of it.

Its not needed. The game has it already.

Greetings.

<shrug> Our (and it would seem Stiebler's) experiences are different and rest assured my installs are functioning as they should.
Well, except for the rwr showing a bearing to the plane/ship.......

iirc you dislike RWR-bearing lines, so i assume you have reduced "Radar Warning range factor=" in Sensors.cfg.

Not so much dislike them as much as it wasn't possible to get such info. irl. They're a huge help in the game though
Regarding the sensors.cfg edit, no. It is set at 1. What value would you suggest ?

I cannot suggest one, i'm not that Historic-enthusiast. For me its a Game. So i use 2. Which helps _alot_. Maybe for you is 0.2 ok.

So if I understand correctly, decreasing the number reduces the bearing line and vice versa ?

Yes.
">=0" Factor must be a Multiplication Factor.
1 is quasi Zero. Not smaller not bigger.
>1 is longer
<1 is shorter
"must be greater or equal than 0"

as of my understanding.
