That AI friendly sub would have freaked me out haha
Yes, working now. Will read when home, looking forward to it as always.


lol the friendly AI subs will catch you off guard for sure. I was like what the hell is that, took me a sec to say to "oh yea, friendly sub attacked".

This is the first time I have had one surprised me like that in campaign. First time saw one attack was in testing in Sea of Japan in 1945. I set up a wolfpack attack on convoy, with ULTRA messages directing player and all in the campaign.

At ambush point, knew they were there but waited until attacked, to provide distraction. This was tactic US wolf packs used in 1943-1945. Three boats, one would attack, then while being chased, next one would attack, then the next, would take turns basically. They sunk one an damaged one, while most escorts were distracted moved in on surface (night time) and attacked, sinking three ships in fairly quick succession. I had the external cam on for testing, watched the enemy attack the AI subs. Problem is they see them as surfaced units and fire guns at them, drop DC if get close enough. I had the AI subs run to an end point where they delete, to simulate their diving deep to evade. Escorts kept hunting for a few though, was pretty cool. In testing mission, saw one get sunk by gunfire and depth charges. A Kamikaze DD fired some rounds which landed close, one hit conning tower, then rolled above the sub and dropped three charges,saw the AI sub leak oil and sink.

Unfortunately, due to some unresolved issues, did not fully implement wolfpacking into the campaign on this release, but planned for future to be a factor in 1944/45, somewhat in late 1943. Where player receives orders to a certain area as part of "coordinated attack group" . Have to get the surfaced AI US boats firing torpedoes and not causing a CTD.
