More AI Weirdness

[Admiral Nelson]

I fired up a random battle, and set it first to computer vs computer just to see if it were a balanced battle. The result was a poweful Russian fleet vs a whole swarm of Japanese armored and protected cruisers. The Japanese fleet immediately turned and fled, with one exception:

Yep, a kamikaze protected cruiser.

Closer and closer it comes:

I let the battle continue, waiting for the deluge of shells to send the PC to the bottom. Gee, the Russians are sure waiting to open fire...

Now the PC is amongst the Russian fleet. Regarsing a mere PC as unworthy, nobody deigns to open fire:

Ships scatter in all directions. But the Russian guns are silent:

Guns fore and aft:

Ships milling about in confusion.

I have two questions here:

1) why did a single PC charge a powerful Russian fleet?

2) Why did the Russian fleet scatter in confusion but not fire a single shot from anything but some non centrally controlled pop guns on a cruiser?

The battle should have been saved in the scenario folder when you 1st created it. Have you played it more than once? Does this happen every time?

Either way, I'd send it to ES and ask them to look at it.
