I had that happen to me as well. It was late in the war, and I picked up a three ship convoy on Radar, which turned out to be a Cruiser, and two Escorts. While getting into position, one of the Escorts turned right towards me, and came on full steam. I know I was out of his visual range, so I was surprised to say the least! I managed to evade, and tried again. I began to think that it was the Cruiser that had the Radar guiding the Escorts, and this was the Japanese equivalent of a Hunter Killer Group. Surprising to say the least!
