1. Improve AI's AI
1.1. improve depth charge accuracy of DD
1.2. revise turnaround radius of DD after bypassing the sub(which should require more distance)
1.3. increase closing speed of DD
1.4. improve search capability of DD against Sub

2. Maneuverability
2.1. multiple players on same sub
2.2. adjustable game difficulty(should be sigificant difference between Easy and Real) for players at various level
2.3. full career design feature in misson editor(not just single or online missions)
2.4. encrypted config.ini for all ships and subs so that no easy parameter cracking or modification
2.5. NO icon or label displayed on map at Real-class(100%) difficulty, all bearing math/config should be completed by player with his own efforts, i.e., full manual approach(using gyroscope)
2.6. more manual operability for Radar

3. Graphics
3.1. add 3D interface for other cabins, and motion of crews
3.2. more crew members can be dragged to be standing on to the bridge to create better moods(especially during leaving and/or returning base)
3.3. add Shift+F2 feature on the bridge so that crew members can move freely
3.4. add crew member moving up and down of periscope real-time at 3D commanding room
3.5. for F3 interface, background of the commanding room and crew members in the room should be moving when the periscope is rotating, while a Torpedo Control panel can be added to fire torpedos(just like SH2)
3.6. improve texture details of all ships
3.7. add more types of history ships
3.8. add more 3D motions for the crew members
3.9. more cloud evolution at different weathers, not just two texture files for every situation
3.10. improve water spray effects, especially for water column effects of gun fire
3.11. improve sea water color diversity for different oceans and depth levels.

4. Sound Effects
4.1 improve sound effect diversity, not just like one single gun fire sound for all guns. (so depth charge detonation should hear different above and under sea
4.2 add emotional tone feature for dialogues, not just like recitation

5. controllable DDs are MOST MOST MOST wanted!!!!!!!!!!!

Given the poor historical sub kill rate of Japanese destroyers and sub chasers the current DD 'AI' might be spot on. Japanese surface forces, including those working in concert with aircraft, were involved in only 22 of the total 52 USN submarine losses in WW2. :hmm:

Come On!

We Want a Fun and Challenging Game!

Keep is as Realistic as Possible, BUT Please Make The AI So Good That The Fight is Challenging and Fun/Hell!

[Godalmighty83]

the AI already cheats, no need to make it any worse.

Yeah...there's your best hope. Human controlled DDs would be so unpredictable compared to an AI. Here's hoping for DCII someday.

What SHIII sorely missed that has made it so easy to sail up and down the English Coastline as if you own it is that there is no overiding AI in the forma of a Coastal Command.

Essentiall, in SHIII, the AI forgets that you ever where there is under an hour .

It needs to be that if you sink a ship in location A that staying there is dangerous so it is best to move to location B.

Aside from that, the escorts need to be able to stay around for 12 to 24 hours and they need improved search patterns.

Hope every one to appeal together

Must make DC2 !!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!1

Of all the AI in SH3 i think that escort AI needs the least amount of work, My only major gripe with DDs is they inability to aviod landmass and running aground.

Merchent AI is just about adquate.

Aircraft AI is very poor and neds work (its place holder AI)

SUb AI - there isnt any! this has got to change!

There is also no AI inplace to allow other vessels or aircraft to launch torpeedos, this must be corrected for the pacific, where PT boats and torpeedo bombers played a big part!

Tempting DeepSix...I'll have to think on it. The most daunting thing about the campaign game in WITP is it's epic length. At one day turns about 1600 plus turns. I played against the AI once (poor opponent) and even though I achieved victory over Japan in 1943 it still took a good five months of game-playing every day. It's such a strategic mis-match too. Japan is pretty much buried under an Allied avalanche by mid-game. Fun to try tho.

However, it might be a nice way to pass the time until SH4 comes out.
