Fuel - do AI players have it?

Cool question! But i guess not: Cuz this would make the Game a Hardcore sim! :hmm:

but do them run out of fuel when u hit her fuel bunker

Torpedo-ing the fuel-room of a ship will cause it to stop dead but on their own I doubt that they ever run out of fuel.

come come come boys

the fuel is just an decoy,

they already have invented the Nuclear Core as an power supply!

They run out of fuel when they reach their last waypoint on their programmed path and vanish into ... uhhh... nowhere.

Makes sense from a programming viewpoint. DD's running out of fuel would most likely lead to exploits.

I seriously doubt that a Sub Driver would ponder "Hmmmm wonder how much fuel they have left" when there tracking a convoy.

You can simulate low fuel in AI escorts by making them leave a convoy to head to port to refuel - by changing the scr
A lot of work for little results though
Chances are unless you follow a convoy from end to end you wouldnt see it anyway

It can and should be implemented. If the AI is good enough, then no problem, no exploits.

It's just ridiculous to have destroyers patrol the seas ad infinitum. They should have to end their patrols at some point, go back to harbour and re-fuel, and then head back out to sea.

Same with cargo ships. They shouldn't pop out of nowhere and then disappear. They should dock, load/off-load, re-fuel, and then be on their way again when ready.
