Don't know if this happened in real life or whether it's a bug kinda thing. I'm using TMO 1.5 (with the service packs) RSRD and PE2..I was on patrol near Guam and after finishing up with my mandatory patrol time, I decided to check on a couple of ports. I suggest this, as I hit the jackpot. On the west side, there was only one DD patroling and I first took him out with a bow shot and then the rest were like shooting fish in a barrel. Then I went to the east side and there was another DD patroling there. As I was slowly closing distance and checking his pattern of patrol, it appeared he has going in reverse. I was a long way at the time and thought it must be my imagination. Turns out it wasn't. He was going forward one direction and instead of turning to a different course, he just went in reverse. He was cruising at a pretty good clip too. I'd guess about 25 Knts. It was very strange looking, I should have got a screenie to post. BTW, I ended up with nearly 40 tons of shipping. The east side had many big boats just tied up and sitting there. Like I said, was like shooting fish in a barrel.
