I ran into something small tonight. I am not sure if its fixable or just the AI doing their thing. I ran into a taskforce and was detected quickly. The cruisers were running over the escorts trying to DC me lol. Its going to be a long night/morning. First picture is date/time/location.

What a wonderful mess

I think IRAI for convoys/warship groups needs more improvement. Here it seems that cruisers that detected you were acting like single warships

By the way, those pour destroyers were accounted to your tonnage?

v1.0.0 of IRAI changes the behavior of the capitol ships. They no longer try to hunt you.

So what is the reason of game situation described above? To many ships or player's active maneuvering, may be?

EDIT: In SH3 I've faced the same situations of accidents between destroyers and merchants when the U-boat was actively maneuvering inside the convoy order

Think it's just too many ships and poor collision detection. I saw loads of it in my last run through the Mediterranean campaigns - at one point, due to other passing convoys being called in to hunt me (at least I assume that's what was happening) I had over 30 warships overhead trying to DC me. They must have destroyed at least 15 ships by collision before I managed to get out. One actually landed on my boat as I sat still hoping to lose them (only reload in that campaign lol)!

I'm not sure. I will check when I get back in game. I didn't see the red sink marks on my map though. I might have them turned off.

Very good sober

my card is now running at 69C with new ships

I will add a hotfix patch soon.
Ruby2000 found a problem with the first campaign.
Objective " North Western Approaches"
No map object.

This is the missing target map area

I did not get the tonnage for the cruisers killing the destroyers. Now its morning and they called in reinforcements. Looks like its going to be a long day.

None of them are merchants

Forced me to the surface about 3 hours later. Ran out of compressed air. I could not shake them. Surfaced went high speed and scuttled by suicide. Crew and I are in life boat.

Check out my non merchant IRAI difficulty settings . Click on my sig link to see them .

mia389 · 08-16-11, 09:49 PM

Thanks sober! I remember seeing them before but didnt know if it made AI harder or easier. I will give them a try

edit: Stupid question; where do I put these settings? There a cfg somewhere?
