Best AI friendly Vanilla Tier 3 submarine for singleplayer campaign ?

[Burán - EPRCosmos]

What is your favourite/recommended submarine for late campaign in singleplayer with the rest of the crew being bots?

Preferable scout or attack class submarine, no transport. Between these:
- Remora.
- Winterhaller.
- Typhoon 2.
- Kastrull.

I suposse Typhoon 2 may be the most AI friendly because it says crew experience required intermediate (rest require experienced) and 4-9 crew (rest require 7-8 minimum). But because or all the stuff with waypoints, etc I am not sure. Recomendations for an update to the last submarine in a solo campaign ?

typhon 2 is the best anyway and my AI crew has no problems, the big issue with T3 is they are big enough that people may crush and drown without u realizing

ya, Typhon 2 is the best.

but if you really mean singleplayer, Winterhalter does have power issue but a group of bots + playing around with battery array can handle it if you know what you're doing.

Kastrull is flagile for an attack submarine, that thing is bad at draining water due to open ballast, it also doesn't have as much firepower and speed compared to Typhon 2 either.

Remora is suffer similiar issue but less, however it got quite a decent speed.

Thanks. I will replace the Orca 2 in that singleplayer campaign with a Typhoon 2 then.

I didn't know Winterhalter have issues with power. Curious I though that sub would be fine in that regard because it comes with the most powerful vainilla reactor.

I didn't notice the open ballast. Thanks. I just noticed most of the big wrecks I encounter are actually Kastrulls. That thing seems to be designed to be Ballast Flora/Thalamus' Prey. It doesn't just have open ballast but also it does have all the critical electrical systems and junction boxes just above the ballasts...

Remora strange layout and gigantic size give me bad vibes about AI doing the orders correctly xD. However I like the design, I will try that submarine with friends online in the future.

If its just about needing the ship to be tier 3 consider making a variant of a tier 1/2 ship with nothing changed but its tier rating.

I started to build an Orca3 for myself under the premise of the captain just paying large bucks for a customized retrofit instead of getting any of the weird tier3 subs.

[Burán - EPRCosmos]

I am thinking on doing the same but for a later game. I really liked the Orca 2. A bit improved and with some QoL would be a nice tier 3 sub. However I prefer to complete a game completely unmodded the first time. That is why I asked for vainilla subs. But definitively I will do an Orca III after finish the game for the first time.

I went into the editor and added another chain gun and heavy turret on the Orca 2. So far its doing amazing and im just using 2 chainguns and 2 double coil guns. I think you could do that with any of your favorite subs if you dont mind playing around in the editor

[Bookslayer10]

Yeah, for my full-bot singleplayer campaign I went Dugong => Orca 2 => Typhon 2. Worked very well, no AI bugs experienced. Those are my favorite ships in general, really.

If you can accept the mod, you can try this submarine.
After testing, it is quite friendly to AI.
