Ok, wasn't aware of that. GrayOwl has already posted his script here:

and it's easier to 'install' because it only consists of one script. I've just randomized a little the behavior (unpredictability) and added the constraint, that the AI subs only fires SAMs if there is only one air/helo detected.

I'm not a naval expert, so why is this unrealistic? Wouldn't a diesel sub uses its SAMs if it's detected by a nearby plane/helo during snorkeling or so (surprisingly of course).

How in general do y think could the AI-sub be more clever to evade air platforms if it gets detected?
Or is it quite realistic, that a sub gets >90% killed if one/two P-3 or so has made a good fix on it?

I've gained my knowledge of ASW mostly by reading Tom Clancy's and Larry Bond's books and some ASW articles...so sorry, if I've ask dump questions
