Saw something not quite like that, but also really strange last night.
Encountered a large convoy on a base course of 90, with about 5 or 6 escorts. None of the merchants zig-zagging. I was in the middle of the convoy and undetected.
BUT... at the tail end of the convoy was one T3 who was zigging as much as 80 degrees port and starboard of the base course.
Really strange thing was how freakin' FAST he was changing course! Like a destroyer is how fast he was maneuvering...
Anyway, I got a firing solution on a different T3 and took him down with 1 eel in the fuel bunker.
Then got a fair 90 deg solution on the "crazy" T3 and put one in his fuel bunker from about 800 yds. He immediately sped up from 7 to 10 kts, so I fired a homing torp and got a hit on his screws. Dam if he didn't go to 12 kts!!!
I think that T3 thought he was a battleship...
