AI Suicide Missions - Hotfix3 - still occurring

[jackyo123]

2 Japanese destroyers just ventured to SUVA. They will be toast next turn, as I have over 20 warships and maybe 250 planes in Neumeua and Suva, Espiritu, Hoorn Islands, and Kormac.

I was hoping this kind of silly deep raid by the AI was eliminated, but alas, still occurring.

Save attached, rename to PWS.

I think they're actually good. Keeps you on your toes. Ties down your forces as well.
The loss is not big for a cheating AI anyway.[:D]

I agree they are good *WHEN THEY COME IN PROPER STRENGTH*. A raid to Suva by a properly equipped bombardment force covered by carriers would be awesome.

but a deep raid by 2 destroyers? Whats the point? In 42 Yamamoto and his admirals weren't suicidal.

I dunno
two destroyers just savaged a convoy peacefully loading fuel about twenty hexes from anyplace importent

Whoops, that was a PBEM, not against the AI[:D]

I keep getting 2 IJN battleships a light cruiser and perhaps one or two destroyers making forays towards Pearl. Needless to say once they're in range everything goes after them and they're always torn up because I have 3 SBD squadrons based at Pearl plus numerous USAAF Level Bombers. Can't really see why they'd want to do that other than disrupt my convoys coming from the West Coast. They did manage to sink some AK's and a couple of Tankers but they were very badly damaged each time they showed up.

are you playing with hotfix3? If so, please post a save up for Andy Mac in a new thread - he says that the suicide raids on Pearl were corrected, but it's possible he missed a few script changes as he probably had to do it for EVERY scenario.

I'm having the same problem. Its late June 42 in scenario 1 and the AI is still sending small TFs to raid Canton Is. and Noumea. In December and January such raids often caused damage. But by June they are just suicide.
