In my younger dumber days several patrols before the one I'm on now (I figure a new captain gets pretty salty after 10 patrols

I tried to infiltrate a convoy in heavy fog. Ships would be 300 meters away and I could not see them. Not just Coastal Merchants, mind you, but C2s and T2s! I could have fired blindly on a bearing, but I kept trying to get a visual and nearly got rammed several tiimes and never got off a shot. After that I stopped convoy hunting in the fog!

I wonder if a successful hit could have triggered panic zig-zags in the ships, leading to lots of collisions?
