The largest failing is the lack of an organic "zig-zag" capability in any of the game engines. Not the "constant helming" we see, but legit patterns of course changes for the entire group every XX minutes. The patterns were not /\/\/\/\/, either, but very complex shapes that look more like bizarre sinusoids.

We tried in both my campaign, and lurker's RSRDC to have /\/\/\ zigzags created by the Automated Campaign Editor program, but too many slows the game down a great deal (a single convoy can then have 10s of thousands of waypoints).
