wolfpacks in or out?

i would still like to know of AI units:

1. Will there be AI fired torpedoes?

2. Will subs as well as surface craft or even airplanes be capable of using them?

3. Will AI subs evade enemy units by submerging or surfacing at will?

those are three other big ticket items as far as im concerned.

Remember the dev Q&A?

This is a nice feature and one we have in plan. However, it is regarded as less important than other features such as AI submarines - friendly and enemy.

Which to me seems like a complete contradiction....I don't see how you could have one (AI submarines) without the other (AI fired torpedoes). How do they expect the AI sub to fight?

thanks mookie i dont think i noticed that in the interview.

personally i agree.

if you have AI subs who will form up and attack they MUST have torpedoes.

thats like havign a formation of AI F-16s in a combat flight sim but they can only use guns - not missiles.

1 - yes dan said AI subs will fire torpedos

2 - last i heard there was no definate answer on this (it was the standard line of "its an interesting idea we are going to be looking into") but dan hinted that if it didnt happen modders should be able to "take hints" from the subs to add them to surface ships.

3 - yes dan did say AI subs will submerge and surface in response to your presence or the AI but as a side note i dont ever recall if they said if subs would only fire torpedos when surfaced or submerged or both.
