Sent a contact report and a while later BDU told me to maintain contact and that other subs in the area are coming. A while later 3 subs informed me they have made contact with the convoy and will attack. I even managed to spot one of them.

But they never did anything. All night I followed the convoy but not a single ship went up. When morning was close I just used my ass tube to sink one ship and just broke off.

Has anyone actually been witness to an AI sub sinking a ship?
As told by Kapuhy, yes, and in campaign too, but they are f....king rookies, and attack and miss a lot. Probably your comrades attacked the convoy, but missed all. If you are managing the hydroprone station, you can hear their engines and the torpedoes launched. I don't know if the AI boats have a hierarchy (rookie, ace, elite, etc.), and I had bad luck and BdU sent me the rookiest Kaleuns of the KM

Regards.
