A combination of waypoint course change and the confusion you sowed by slowing down some of them.
- The AI will not let its ships collide, so they will often stop nervously until the thing gets sorted out.
- Also, the AI seems to give right of way to the escorts first.
- The AI convoy ships never seem to leave their "frame." They seem to mill around only in the confines of the original convoy.
- If you have ever seen border collies managing sheep, I can only say it is the closest thing to it.
Now, you would think this would be the perfect time to cause more disruption, by trying to torpedo the ones standing still.
Won't work if you are using any sort of automatic target solution -- the game engine knows where the ships are
supposed to be, and will target that spot. Not the ship. Until it cranks through the data storm you threw at it, at which point the ships will be moving again, anyway.
