[REL] Prolonged DC Attack

I did not install it with the RFB 1.4 version as yet. Do you think it will be ok to drop this in after ROW/RFB/RSRD? I would suspect it would just overwright some of the RFB sensor changes. Let me know and I will load it up for a run!

It should be fine IMO. The only major file that is modified is AI_sensors. I've even run a couple tests where I can use the mod for part of a patrol and then disable it between boots and it seems to work OK. As long as there aren't any ships in the area that are resident in memory anyway. More testing required to be positive though.

If there are changes in RFB that this mod affects, I could easily make a version for that too.

Currently I have saved a convoy in my sights but being that this is my first patrol and only 600nm for Java, I will restart with this mod added and find the convoy again.

This should be interesting as for now I keep outside views on. Before I saved I took a peek and found the convoy had 4-5 DD/subchasers.

In the spirit of adding some pucker factor and having a depth charges rolling down my deck for hours......this just might be the ticket for that!!!! Like I stated before, battery life and CO2 are a none factor when under attack. The DD give up to easily. I for one have no issue slugging it out for an hour or so. Or maybe longer!

I will let you know what happens.

In the "way back" days, part of the 'thrill' of attacking a convoy in Silent Service was having to actually maneuver in order to avoid DC's. Twisting, turning, short hi speed runs right after the DC's went off were all needed. If you didn't, you were sunk. (Guilty as charged, hadn't played a sub sim since Silent Service 2- not SH2, but SS2)

Although far short of SH4 in a bajillion of ways, the difference in the old SS games and SH4 in this aspect dissapointed me the first time I was attacked in SH4.

Just spiraled down to the layer and putt putted off to new hunting grounds.
