Wierd but interesting occurence...

Playing a homemade mission to test various systems. After tweaking the SIM. cfg file so noise level set at 0.3, escorts were able to maintain contact even while silent running....finally a challenge.

Anyway, setup was April 43, a Brit Hunter-Killer group consisting of a V&W, Hunt III, Black Swan and a Flower set against a IXC/40.

Once watch spotted them at ~9km, I dived, unless I initiated silent running, they would detect me.

After I let them detect me, they made a large number of attack runs against me, took boat down to 210m, still they were able to do damage, so I went down to 250m where the pressure hull started to give way,

then went up to 240m.

I stopped all motors and waited to see what happened, They still made runs on me, but did not drop any DCs.

:hmm:

I wanted to see what was up with this, so I went to Periscope depth and figuring they ran out of ash cans, let them detect me by running motors full. I took a look around, and there were the Hunt and the Flower, just sitting there.....They then made attack runs and dropping DCs..... :hmm:

WOW! pretty cool AI behavior!

I tried to duplicate this unsuccessfully...anybody else notice this.
