been working hard on the ship's AI....they no longer 'follow' you like a lost puppy dog. If they detected you and then lost that detection they enter into a spiral search pattern for 1 hr looking for you. If they don't acquire you in that hour then they return to following waypoints.
Convoys are MUCH harder now. Depending on the number of escorts they will send one or two 'scouts' to come investigate if they detect you on the surface. If you submerge then (based on the number of escorts) they send a DC party over to DC the crap out of you. Also (depending on the number of escrorts) this DC party has a 'director' that sits about 1500m away from you 'directing' the DC party to your location for their DC attacks. When they DC you it's bad - they come right over you like they did in SH3 |

Forgot to mention that a convoy WILL NOT dispatch all of it's escorts at you anymore. It will always keep at least 1 escort with the convoy unless there's only one escort with the convoy. |

You guys should see what happens when this DC party comes over and 'plays' with you now......it'll be vitally important to get out of dodge quick when you're spotted by escorts now It's just a constant barrage of DCs...wow

Sounds realistic. Are termal layers factored in. Like the fact that one guy acts as director. |

if there's only 1 escort in the convoy then he is assigned to DC you if there's more than 1 escort in the convoy then (in this order): - 1 is assigned to guard the convoy - 4 are assigned to DC you (if there's enough escorts) - then if there still are any escorts left, 1 is assigned to be director |
