That's not quite correct mate.

In stock SH3... convoys will begin to zigzag against their original programmed course only if they if they spot you.

However, it is a totally separate behavior introduced by the GWX mod (not stock SH3) that causes convoys to make random course and speed changes as they make their way across the ocean on their overall path to their destinations.

Bigboywooly should know, he wrote the code into our campaign files that cause those random waypoint and speed changes to occur in GWX... which make long distance interceptions uncertain.

Two different types of 'zigzagging' occur in GWX as a result.
