Hi h.sie,

it's not yet a full success, but a first one

Was the sub attacked by the convoy?

Maybe a question for some else, but I'm wondering why the AI subs, if they are anyway treated in-game as surface units, are inside the submarine folder and not the ship folder

Why not use a usual ship looking like a sub

Maybe just a relict from the old days when hopes were high that full working AI subs could be created?

The problem I see with the rnd layer is that you cannot make sure that a unit has been spawned (I think spawning only starts after loading the game and then after the spawning interval. So you might set the spawning probability to 100% and a spawning interval of a few minutes, but then you flood the game with AI subs. However, this might be solved by deleteonlastwaypoint=true and a close last waypoint).

Anyway, I'm not convinced that the problem is rnd vs. scr layer related (BTW, what was the date of the AI sub unit in the scr layer

).

Cheers, LGN1
