yes, if you read the interview with neal they said totally autonomous AI controlled subs in the area will close on a convoy you are shadowing and they will atack it but you wont interact with them but your actions in the game will effect if you see them or not.

if you dont shadow convoys then its pure chance you come accross other subs but if you maintain contact shadowing a convoy, at some point the other boats in the area will show up and attack the convoy.

you dont get any reward for this or penalty if you lose contact which prevents the trap being sprung but when or if it happens can be effected by your actions.


so the short answer is yes they have wolfpacks but you cant join or interact with them so its not the wolfpacks that people have in mind. i assume and hope we will be able to clean up the disabled ships afterwards.
