[WIP] IRAI (Intelligent Random AI)

Intelligent Random AI (IRAI) is amazing! I was hunting down a minelayer and a destroyer near Danzing as part of the Open Horizons II first campaign. I was able to catch the destroyer by surprise and sunk it. The minelayer took evasive action and maneuvered for a bit. I was surprised when the minelayer came to a full stop.

I wait a few minutes, but the minelayer just stays still. I found it weird that it would just sit there, but I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, so I maneuvered to close range, 90 degrees of her port side, and line up what I thought was a beautiful torpedo shot.

I pop out my battle periscope one more time and confirm that the minelayer is still sitting there. I fire the torpedo off, but the minelayer was waiting for me to do just that! The minelayer's engines kicked in, ahead flank speed, spotlights all over my position, tracers and rounds all about. My torpedo misses. The minelayer's guns find their mark. Periscope damage, hull damage, engine damage, two officers injured, and the minelayer is coming straight for me!

I ordered the crash dive, but it was too late. The minelayer rammed my boat and delivered the fatal blow.

As we sank to our final repose at the bottom of Danzig Bay, I laughed realizing that I had just been played.

It was the most thrilling fun that I've had playing SH5 so far!
