A stupid hunch on that craptastic AI.

Well heres what got me thinking.

You'd agree that ELITE's are the most consistant in behavior, most aggressive, and usualy the ones that would cream you no?

Ive acutally had this hunch for awhile. Orginally i was modding my game leaving the sonar cone as default, only fiddeling with a min range, and then tried to add for more inaccuracies within the depth charges and hedge hogs themselves.

That was awile ago, and i forgot why i was doing it that way.

Over the last couple weeks i went back to fiddling with sonar. Made the cone 70 degrees, increased the min distance.. all the semi realistic stuff that mos of us do. Well, in my game ive added quite a few elite DE's.

You know.. those dreaded buckleys?

I have 3 ship convoys escorted wtih two elite DE's in the carribean after 42. Out of 4 convoy attacks, i had only ONE close call. All the other 3 attacks resulted in me silpping away without so much as one depth charge being dumped anywhere near me.

Thats when i remembered this hunch of mine that i forgot about.
