Now, in my last game session, I dedicated myself to following one of those AI submarines, and the result is that when it disappeared, I have confirmed that they do dive! For a while they are submerged at flank speed, so they are perfectly audible on the hydrophone, but at a certain time they also disappear from the hydrophone, but with an external camera I verified that they were slowing down, and they attacked the convoy escorts! As I was relatively close, about 4km away, even showed me the event camera at the time the AI sub launched its torpedo against the escort destroyer, which missed, and launched a second torpedo, also showing the event camera, but missing again.

Therefore, although it was somewhat tedious to follow the AI submarine, I have been able to verify that they do carry out attacks, not in the most efficient way, but they do attack.

So just had an amazing experience. Sent a convoy report and shadowed it for a bit. All of a sudden THREE u boats show up and go in from the opposite side, they actually did attack and took out one ship and damaged the other. All the escorts went after them and I went in. Took out another ship and slipped away. Unfortunately I think a couple of my allies got sunk.



But yes after this they definitely can and do attack and do damage.
