this is still under development as i decided that coldwaters is not ready for it yet

reasons :


1.) allied AI is not yet ready for distinguishing between friend or foe good enough yet on all 3 attack platforms AIR / SURFACE / SUBS



2.) surface ships AI needs to be better and adjusted to a surface specific role so same problem as point no 1 but for surface ships



3.) THE MAIN PROBLEM is aircraft they just do not have a equal offensive & defensive weapons yet compared to subs and surface ships


by that i mean they have to fly directly over their target & drop ordnance or sensors


which is suicide against surface warships or even a surfaced sub with stingers or man pads

also they haven't got any decoys or Countermeasures at all at the moment
so very easily destroyed


so flares & chaff ect need adding also maybe ECM Jamming


ECM = ( Electronic Countermeasure )


and they to need a air specialized AI routine that suites airborne unit so :

Air vs Air

Air Vs Surface

Air Vs Subs (Expanded weapons pack ) also



and if you were to run in to friendly units the way cold waters usually plays it would most likely be friendly air support like in real life as USA / NATO / RUSSIAN subs are assigned areas as a loan wolf



bar carrier & specific surface group protection occasional assignments or fleet roles then you part of a fleet group


or you encounter a ASW group or a Patrol surface vessel ect


which brings us back to the AI,s Friendly fire Issues as all coldwaters versions & mods dont have AI,s that do not attack the player on sight bar my various attempts


even a armed civilian vessel will attack the player on normal cold waters and any mod version bar my Epic W@ters Mod in case you were wondering



i will stress tho i do not want the AI to be 100 % no Friendly fire as this happens in real life and adds to the game realism also
