tactical question

NipplesTheCat · 10-01-11, 07:37 PM

I installed the mega mod by tdw and fired up the game again after being away for several months. Well I ran into a task force in bad weather and now I've got about 9 warships above me pinging like I've never seen in vanilla. Don't know if the mod made the ai better or if I just finally ran into a tough spot but how long are they going to keep pinging? I'm. Running silent at 171m and have been for over 3 hours real time. Ping ping pin ping a least 1 or 2 pings per second.....sigh. what would you do? posting from phone sorry for typos.

that would be the IRAI part of MO that improved the AI. If you left the difficulty settings at stock values and your evasion tactics aren't superior you're dead. Plain and simple.

Are you saying there are valuesthat should have been changed or is it the sheer number of ships that is dooming me?

You can adjust the difficulty settings for each sensor of the escorts and the merchants by editing \data\Scripts\AI\init.aix

I'm perfectly happy with the game being difficult as long as you think my current settings are even close to simulating real life. I just want to make sure I don't have something set to an impossibly unrealistic setting somehow. I'm. Assuming this is normal and any sub in real life would be up a creek without a paddle. Its fun but I don't know how I'm going to save myself. Do you think a sinscere "were sorry" and a giftbasket would work? Maybe they'll run out of charges?

Rick is this normal anytime I run into any warships or just normal when I run into so many? My only saving grace is that I am hearing some collisions up there. Maybe with enough ships loking for me they'll sink themselves.

I don't think the mega mod without IRAI changes the AI, but his IRAI mod certainly does.

Do you have IRAI installed? If so, what you are experiencing is normal.
Good Luck!
