I had four on me last patrol. None ever ran out of ammo. After about half an hour real time two of them rejoined the convoy while the two remaining continued to hammer me for several more game time hours until I managed to slip away by accelerating to Ahead Flank each time one or the other made a DC attack and so lost contact with me.
My point was that had these run out of ammo I don't believe it would have been possible to break their contact without the masking noise of the DC attacks. If they had maintained contact and thus hounded my boat for long enough I would have been forced to surrender for lack of O2.
:hmm: ....btw...I'm thinking the running out of DC ammo factor is getting renewed attention only because NYGM 2.O intensified the DC attacks and now they last long enough for this limit to be really noticeable....and no don't mistake this for a complaint. I am thoroughly enjoying the cat&mouse escort encounters. I now have a new respect of and reason for avoiding them when possible.
