I would often end up going deep like you did, but shutting down my engines and going silent. That was one of the only methods for me that would have them eventually leave. I read lately that people go to 1 knot, then scoot out. I plan to try that on my first encounter.
As for them hanging around unrealistically, I thought it odd as well until I started reading Iron Coffins. Ironically, yesterday I read this: "Nine hours passed, and the escorts were still throwing their cans." followed later by "But as the day came to an end, the three escorts turned away and sped after their convoy." So apparently not unrealistic after all. 
Check ZygfrydDeLowe's post above regarding some tweaks. Somewhere in this thread there is discussion about toning down these uber abilities that the escorts have. You'll have to search the thread manually or maybe someone can pipe in directly as to the file and the section that needs to be edited, because I'm not sure where that info is at the moment.  |
Appreciate the insight, I guess then that the fact the escorts hang around so long isn't as unrealistic as I thought.
Do share your experiences with escorts once you play more with your new campaign, I'd really like to hear if the tactic of going deep and remaining silent works for you. The last time I attacked a convoy from the inside that tactic failed miserably...
