Speaking of DD's with a convoy, I am curious as to their behavior.
If you have some DD's escorting a convoy (lets say there are five), and you attract some attention (three of the five), how long do they try to sink you before they return to their convoy ? Do they leave the convoy open to attack by another uboat indefinitely ?
I would think if they're pounding you for ten hours, and their convoy is running at 7 knots, that convoy is long gone before they decide to go after it. Hypothetically, is an entire convoy worth less than a single uboat ?
So I guess the ultimate question here then would be; do you as a uboat driver take precedence to the AI after you are discovered and is there a time limit to that precedence ?

Thanks.
