Escorts quarrel

Are you serious? Well, it makes perfect sense from a programming perspective, but if it's true, it's the funniest thing I have heard.

Wow, if you could just get lucky enough that a Liberator nicked another one ... that would be a dogfight to watch.

So that sounds like AI ship A does not "see" AI ship B, if B is between A and Uboat. It will shoot, not knowing B even exists? And if B is hit, suddenly they do know about each other?

Yet, when moving, they obviously know the others exist. If you manage to disrupt a convoy well enough, you even see them milling around, stopped in the water, pulling highspeed reverses. Valet parking to the nth degree.

Mysterious game, as always.

Your quite currect....until the AI 'attack/destroy' mode is activated, that is when it appears that the AI is oblivious to it's surroundings or anything other than it's quarry.

Wierd AM53 story.
We attacked a convoy in the northern shallows, and began slipping away at 20 meters. We were only a few meters off the bottom. Trawler A shows up and starts moving very slow to listen for us. He sunk himself by dropping DC while not making enough speed.
We go back up to periscope depth, to avoid grownding, and trawler B shows up. He comes to all stop right above his definate sound contact, which is the sunken trawler A, and depth charges it, and himself.
Does that count as, "Trawler destroyed by pressure",?
