it's understandable. I'd like to see what happens with v0.0.20 now. The tactics really changed for the escorts in HK groups. HK groups now have a director that will sit off some distance and 'listen' for you to keep group informed of your whereabouts. I also increased the max course change allowed by the convoy (both HK and merchant) when they spot a contact and also increased slightly the time interval between course and speed changes.
Both merchant and HK convoys will start changing speed when they detect you far out. As you get closer they will start changing course also.
Carriers and Battleships are now forced to stay with the group - they are not allowed to wander and swarm over your location. HK groups now act as a group and not individuals (except for the ones whose role is to hunt you) due to assigning them a leader that they have to follow.
I made a new role for the merchant and HK groups called guard convoy. They will stay with the group if you are outside the convoy 'area' but if you stray inside then they are allowed to attack. This is to combat the possibility that the escorts assigned the role of hunter may be out hunting targets and you surface or raise your periscope inside the convoy. These guys will take care of ensuring you go away and go back to the depths you came from.
I made some other changes also but can't quite recall everything.
I couldn't get the formation DCing to work. Everytime I tried to make it work it would crash the game. That's probably why the stock tactics that tried to use formations were commented out in the files.
As far as air contacts I haven't written any tactics for them yet. I've been mainly concentrating on tactics against other ships and subs. I should be able to add some tactics for air contacts in the next version.
