I guess it's alot of scripting tho, but it is historically correct. It was depicted in some deptcharges tech book i readed on this forum some times ago.

It's accurate and more than that, this way the escort will not be forced to go back and for to avoid each other, so the hunt will be less chaotic. I agree, some kind of strategy should be implemented for the escorts, at least for those who are in charge with the sub hunt.
