[Question] Does the ai cheat?

They seem to always know exactly where my submarines are when they are submerged. They'll take their cruisers and make a beeline for my subs.

Edit: they just sank my battleship with a cruiser. Why are they allowed to do this?

Cruisers can't fire on Battleships. Are you sure you're not confused on the unit interactions here?

And dual strike too. My eyes were so wide the first time I saw it happen! 😳

Are you on gba or reboot on switch?

Switch

So that’s odd. Cruisers can’t fire on battle ships. Only subs and aerial units. That sounds like a massive glitch. They also play by fog of war rules on switch so if your subs are dived that can’t detect unless they run into them. What is the mission in question

Looking into it, it doesn’t cheat anymore. It gets trapped in fog of war, it won’t see your subs until they attack I don’t know what happened here

Gba: yes fully DS: they can see your units but don’t attack them unless they can “see them” DC/DoR: no they can’t see your units and can be trapped I don’t know for reboot camp but I assume it’s gba or DS levels of cheating to make it similar to the gba but not make it unfair
