Destroyer ignores my attack

That's not too bad. But i had hit two ships.
However, the minimum reaction in the Sim that i would like to see is that they head to the burning ship and "take notice".

For them to take any action they need to be part of a group or they need to 'see' an enemy. If they are single units then they behave as single units. As a single unit they will continue following waypoints until they 'see' something or they take damage from a player's weapon. Not my limitation but the game itself.

Don't take that wrong, TDW. I appreciate your great work. So the convoy with escorts is not defined as a group ? I wonder what a modder could about it. Could we solve this with any message (internal message, not a radio message) sent from attacked ships (status,position) that would trigger the escorts. Or maybe could it be linked with the hitpoints ?

When you say "see" something, are you referring to visual detection only or any sensor detection? From what I saw in stock, it seems to be visual only.

When they are not in alert state they rely mostly on visual sensors. You'll notice their hydrophone cone is very small when not in alert state. They come into alert state when they see something via any sensor.

Just as I suspected. Thanks for the confirmation.

Actually, they're ignoring you on purpose!

Just their way of saying "hah, you're not even worth bothering with!" The ultimate insult!

Sorry, just kidding. Had to. Don't pay attention to me. TDW is right

[gambla]

No, no, i got it now ! It wasn't ignorance or a bug. I've double checked the situation and believe or not : My attack was finished at exactly 5 pm ! It was team time !

I am sure that the Queen Elizabeth Class BB did not agree with her escorts' apathy when three of my four eels sheared off her bow and ignited an ammo magazine.
