If they lost contact they would do box searches and if there were enough escorts, they would even do line-abreast sweeps. If memory serves, they also did creeping attacks. I think adding behaviors like that into SH3 would require working the source code and way much more ability than I have.
Also John--I like your Clay Blair quote (from Hitler's U-Boat War?). Blair also explains why Admiral King shouldn't really be viewed so harshly for what happened during Operation Drumbeat. Those volumes are a Great read!

Yes, there's no comparison between escorts in AOD vs any version of SH3. One of the main reasons I still play AOD.
Also yes, from his u-boat war series. Outstanding books in many ways.
