LSH 5.1 TWEAKING AI

[Leitender]

I´m not sure if the described behaviour has anything to do with the mod:

they don't hunt you just drop random dc's within 500-1200yards away

If the DD´s drop DC´s, they must have discovered your boat. To test it, try your mission again with activated "Stealth meter" (realism settings) and observe if - and when it´ll be getting red resp. green again. To reduce the lose time after a DC attack, the already mentioned Detection time for the Sonar in the sim.cfg file can be lowered (stock SH3: 20s, GWX: 10s, NYGM: 5s).

The attacking behaviour itself isn´t touched by any mod afaik. They drop their DC´s at the last known position of the boat about which I think it´s hardcoded. The last known position depends (among others) on the sonar values in the AI_sensors.dat. But these values weren´t touched neither by LSH nor by GWX. Only NYGM changed that to "real" values. In fact, they made it more difficult for the escorts to find you!

Btw,

A logically false parameter “realistic sensors” has been eliminated, because realism is stored in
“Sensors.dat”

means, that the "realistic sensors" for the crew are switched off and remain switched off. You can´t reactivate them without modifying your installation. But this affects only your crew, not the enemy AI.

Sorry for my bad English.
