[SubConscious]

I have been playing around a bit with Flower Corvettes and I think they need some help. It's actually very easy to sink them if you surface behind them and pound away with the deck gun. It's easy because they don't bother to try to turn to bring their forward deck gun into play - they continue on their current course. It's easy to take out the rear gunner, as the poor fellow is virtually unprotected. The forward gunners then just shoot into the water to either side, as if they're trying to engage the enemy, but the ship can't maneuver. I've tried this in four tests and the result was the same.

I find this interesting in that if a Flower Corvette spots me on the surface, it comes right in for the kill. Similarly, if I surface in front of the ship, it blasts away (albeit rather inaccurately). Surfacing behind them appears to really throw the escort logic for a loop.

I suppose there is some possibility that my first round takes out steerage, as I first try to take out that rear machine gunner and searchlight, but I think this is unlikely.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just a fluke?
