After spending 2 weeks in a raging storm and watching convoys go by I became kind of desperate.
Got you. Many miss the 300m thing.

Watch them go by.. nothing to be done about it.. Trail them as best you can until weather improves.

Unless you are using the "lock cheat," you can't shoot them within arming range, and, even if you could hit them, you can't find the cripples in the murk.

No shame in walking away from a convoy in bad weather.
