I never played late enough in the war to see if "Hunter-Killer" tactics are modelled, i.e. one ship staying on your tail and guiding the others in. It is common knowledge, though, that early in the war a destroyer will sit and listen for you. If another one attacks and you go to flank speed to avoid the depth charges the listening ship will immediately hear you and move in for the kill.

I don't think that's a historical tactic, but it sure is a creepy one, so I like it.
