Thanks, Bandit!

intercepted a landing force, no friendly fire incidents, and i did not notice any soviet torpedoes tracking in on surface ships. also took on some 2v1 and 1v1 subs, in neither case did they detect launch transient in their baffles.

the torpedoes - while not spamming me out - do seem "smarter", less likely to be spoofed by knuckles, faster to regain contact after they are spoofed. etc

going to cut teeth on 109c more tomorrow, but so far i think you have a winner.

also, i noted in 1.09b and not sure if this is an issue with 1.09C - one of the escorts with 3 props... center prop doesnt turn.

Actually, I specifically asked why the Soviet Submarines do not counterfire when they detect an incoming weapon... This is the usual tactic they employ...

Now with the new update, not only do they counterfire, the surface and airborn assets drop weapons too. Much more realistic.
