Yes, some stop machines, other starts looping at high speed.
They work good if my submarine run a high speed (and they can hear me). So it works that the "looping" or "searching" strategy do not work correctly (but why one DD works with it?).
After my attack and sunk a commander, the convoy (only merchants) works as without tactics (course and speed without changes), but they respond (start changing course, speed) when I sunk next ship.

I think that is not problem who is commander/leader, look:
They work correctly when DDs detect me (it is not important what target is already sunk).
They partially work correctly when I sunk merchant.
They do not work correctly when I sunk a convoy's head.
Maybe the problem is connected with unit class / convoy's head (armed merchant cruiser).

I shot and sunk ships when they are start to zigaging (they are at 10-20°), but at real I do not play with unrealistic reload torpedo time so maybe you're right...

Ramming at periscope depth?
They push me maybe 1-2 meters deeper without damages.
Ramming is dangerous with high speed, but 14kt is not.
At least, if uboat is rammed at conning tower... do you remember my post about conning tower's durability?
