I posted this in the AI enhancement thread first, but then I realized that it probably is more of a bug than anything else.
The AI inability to use its fleet is a big nasty bug I think.
In a recent game as Germany (Bolt 1.02c) I sent out the entire German fleet to raid the British convoy lines. The British AI did nothing, nothing whatsoever. My 2 battleships and 7-8 cruisers lay in the middle of the western approaches for nearly 4 months without any interference.
Then it was time for the invasion of Norway. First the fleet was ordered back to port to raise org. Then we attacked Norway, this time I had 2 battleships, 7-9 cruisers, 4 destroyers and 4 troop transports going back and forth along the Norwegian coastline. The Norwegian fleet did put up a fight (that lasted 3 seconds), but the british or french fleets did NOTHING.
I turned fog of war off, and found the allied fleets. In the english channel there were something like 44 capital ships hovering off the French coast. And the British east coast was pretty much littered by British ships. One huge carrier fleet was sitting in the middle of the north sea just one sea zone from the norwegian battles, but it just sat there for months.
