A thought on AI uboats

Yes the damage model is a toughie

Give a sub a damage model to survive underwater makes it tougher on the surface
Certainly can be done as player subs manage it

However I dont think you could alter an evasion routine to make it dive
Not sure if they are all linked

Merchants would sink themselves
:rotfl:

But then I dont know the ins and outs of those controllers though so who knows

Well I was just tossing it out there for anyone working on it as a notion
or avenue

thanks for the feedback I never considered the damage model issue

You have to rember that there is NO sub AI in sh3, so the subs have to use SHIP AI - so submerging = sinking

To be honest i think if it was possible some one would have done it by now, SDK required for that one methinks.

Wonder what would happen if the axis of the steering rudder would be changed from horizontal to vertical :hmm: so the sub would submerge whenever it tries to turn

Porpoising and flooding probably to guess.:hmm:
