It's a different mode of behaviour though. At the moment it's clear that the AI does not react consistently. The behaviour you've mentioned is odd but it is ultimately fixable.

On the other hand, I do think players need to train themselves that crack destroyers early war were extremely rare, and most of the time they were pretty poorly organised. Also, I've had attacks spoilt by merchants responding to something I've done, in that they alter speed or change course.

While I would like it fixed I do not want 1939 DD AI to be running first-rate sonar drills and ASW coordination with Coastal Command. That simply didn't happen, and it should not in-game.
