thanks for your replies - yes i have found that when i actually encounter escorts on hard they come right for me straight away pretty quickly. This was kind of hit and miss, as i played a few hard patrols and in each i was destroyed by depth charges pretty soon after encountering an escort, but then in another hard patrol i actually came across no escorts ever, just unescorted convoys of about 3 ships a piece and a lot of singular small freighters.
the steering failure i have not been able to reproduce either i must say - i just must have ceased working in that patrol - it wasnt due to any sub damage either as the steering worked fine when i did it from map screen, but was broken in all the other screens.
do convoys ever have more than 3-4 ships in them? just wondering
