I am an adult so I knew pretty much what to expect. I don't feel that I am entitled to anything. I make my choices based on the best information I can get (and in the case of Subsims it is Subsim.com) and my personal experience and observations, and I accept the consequences. Good and bad. Quote:
Plus, I am not exactly new around these parts myself. I don't need to "preserve" anything other than what these forums are for which is that "we want the Radio Room to be a civil, mature forum for discussions about naval and subsims, tactics, mods, playing tips, troubleshooting, and submarine topics in general." Jumping into any number of threads and complaining about a game that you don't even own does not meet any of those criteria. JCC |

There are countless examples of where early war escorts did nothing during attacks. It wasn't because they didn't want to, it was becasue they either didn't know how to or didn't have the technology to react. Otherwise how would it have been possible to surface in the middle of a convoy and spend hours torpedoing ships (as happened in real life). Previous iterations of the series either had, or were modded to have opponents with almost omnicient awareness of your position, depth and speed, regardless of the period of the war. This was completely unrealistic. This is not to say there are not problems (the "me and my shadow" AI is one that comes to mind), but people who are still in 1939-1941/2 should check out the historical records. They might be surprised what they find. There was a reason it was refered to as the "Happy Times". As the war progresses watch what happens. JCC |

I'm doing an AI mod at the moment, but it's hard to balance what people expect (un-realistic behaviour) with what they should do. One thing that I am sure of is that just ramping up the sensors does not an exciting encounter make, so I am trying to avoid making an 'AI' mod that is a sensor mod only. My aim is for smarter escorts, but with the same limitted sensors (or realistic sensors). One Destroyer that was radar equipped and was in heavy fog with a new crew managed to sail along with the convoy, not notice that a large group of escorts had joined them and their own group of escorts had left for home. The author says that this crew was more of a hinderance to the convoy than to the U-boats.

That is good news - good luck I hope you figure it out. An ideal example of the AI's problems is what happened to me whilst playing today. I was a bit bored and the next mission in the campaign wasn't up yet so I headed out to Scapa Flow for some fun (I'm using the Uboat killer AI mod at the mo) Managed to sneak in ok , got to firing range on the 2 battleships , was able to fire, reload and fire again without any of the DD's breaking off from their patrols and attacking me. On the way out I did get spotted and the DD steamed over to where I was. Being that the depth under keel was about 17 meters I figured I was dead. Straight away he does a depth charge run, there's a huge explosion - I'm flooding pretty much everywhere , sparks etc. Bloody chief engineer wont stop the flooding because he's injured lol. So I sneak a look outside and would you believe it? The DD has blown its own keel off with a depth charge lol. Anyway to cut a long story short, I put that one down to the inexperience of the tommy's (it's '39 still) and headed out. On the way out 3 DD's start tracking me and closing, I dive to periscope depth and they run aground in pursuit lol. So there is room for improvement yes. Did it ruin my day - nope loved every minute |

Your cartoons are not funny , but they are subversive. You are not a Brit by chance? You know one of those guys who speak cogney? Because Usually that kind of crap is coming from the isle, London.. SUN Style. You really start to make the impression that it is your goal to piss people off. |

I understand where you are coming from , I have German friends and I winced when I saw the cartoon. That said, having a go at us Brits is no better IMO. And it's Cockney Edit to add: You have a point about Sun readers though |

I still say I would have rather UBI gave the money to the DEVS to FINISH SH4 PROPERLY and maybe add a ATLANTIC campaign. As opposed to coming up with several novel and GREAT ideas and only implement them to a 50% level and say "here is your finsihed sim...hope you like". I mean WTF?? Who in thier right mind would think its a good idea to release something half finished ...then feign disbelief when the fans and reviewers rip it to shreads? Sorry I would rather wait 5 years or more to get a complete product.... Now if one could be released every year...complete....HECK YA IM IN Last edited by Onkel Neal; 04-07-10 at 02:46 PM.

Like: The Box SH5 comes in has nice pictures. then: It makes a nice coaster for my coffee mug while I play YYYY Sim. This trolling was brought to you by the letter Y (and sometimes X if we are in the mood to be dirty). (PS...just trying to lighten your mood up like you did for me a few pages back :P ) |

I wish to file a formal complaint about the complaint by the OP about the complainers complaing about complaints (note these complaints are completely unrelated to any of my complaints about complainers complaining about my compliants).
Wait.... I will start my own thread for this..... being as I just realized the OP did not address my complaint!! |
