profile and periscope discipline pay off!
Yeah, kept my profile in mind throughout. Have to amend my post though:

- did some experimenting with saved game files with the saved file mentioned in my post.
Did one reload and the convoy did a 180 turn......that was strange, so I went right at an escort.
I was able to ram him with no action from him. Figured the file was screwed up ala the convoy turn sign.
Reloaded the save again, and everything worked fine. So, even though a saved game reloads ok, doesn't mean it is ok, but as long as there's an obvious sign like above, that's helps show it anyway.

- still had my suspicions about the lack of escort awareness. So I double checked my NYGM install, and found even though I had put the AI_sensorsNYGM.dat file in the right place, I hadn't renamed it ! So it wasn't being used.
Any idea; does this file affect the watch crew too, or just the "other side" ?
If it does affect the watch crew, that would also explain their lousy eyesight.
