Found a small convoy of 3 ships, a destroyer leading, a large tanker in the middle and a destroyer behind. Nice straight course, playing follow my leader almost exactly 270 course.

Now, I'm directly behind them, at pericsope depth, around 3,500-4,000yds away. I can just see the last destroyer through the mist. I set my torp to run slow at just the right depth and fire. I turn away to the south and watch my torp run.

Torp runs for nearly 6 minutes. Direct hit! Destroyer goes down, the tanker starts to weave. Now, the destroyer in the lead that I couldn't even see turns about and follows the line back to where I was when I shot the torp!!!!

So, how the hell does he know this? I noticed this problem in the original game, the GW mod and now they still do it in GWX. What causes this??? He should start going active and hunting but no way in the world shoud he know the point at which I shot my torp! ... which is way over 10,000 yards by now...!!
