AI and Difficulty Levels in Fighting Steel

[AlmightyTallest]

Hey guys,

Since I started using the 163.75 drivers, I can enjoy this game without crashing. Can anyone give me the lowdown on how the difficulty levels work in this sim?

Does the AI get better, or do my ships get handicapped? And which setting should I use that would recreate similar outcomes to what actually happened during the war?

If I remember (I think it's in the read me of the latest install patch), the Difficulty relates to the distance that contacts may be discovered.

There's a "historical" etting for campaigns, however, form other posts, you may need to adjust ships' settings on an indiviual basis for a scenario.

Some Real-world modelling is very difficult to do - e.g. Cape Matapan doesn't really work - nor does the North Cape - both rather extreme cases...

And, of course, there's no modelling of lack of intelligence....

Thanks for that info COlPrice2002, it was helpful in making new scenarios :) Now I just wish they would run without crashing on my high end system :(.
