these DDs ain't stupid

I mentioned this in a different thread. Enemy AI appears to vary from contact to contact. Not sure if the timeline has anything to do with it, but I started a campaign in Dec 1941 and was forced to retire in early 1943. Too bad because I just acquired a Balao class sub.

So.... restarted a new campaign in early 1944 and started with a Balao this time. (I mean comeon, I had already been promoted into one).

...the missions I've played this time around, very TUFF AI for the DDs. I've been sunk twice and damaged so bad (other times) where I couldn't continue the mission, repair or make it back to base (ie, rudder destroyed, dive planes destroyed...etc.)

So yes, earlier in the game I had some DDs that were easy to fool and get around, and I've had some really TUFF cookies that continue to persist and track you, DC u and actually sink u.
