Default Drunken Tramp Steamers

Finally got around to loading up GWX.

Thus far I've noticed something a tad... different. No, other than the almighty German Sailboat.

Transiting just north of the Orkneys on my way to the patrol zone. What is this? A Tramp Steamer! Oooooo!

And he's driving like a drunken Exxon captain with too much time & vodka on his hands. I sank 2 Steamers in the same day and both would zag every 1 to 2.5 minutes which basically meant that they were going straight for maybe 20-30 seconds at a time. I even had one turn 90 degrees off base course before turning back.

So, my question: Is this a bit too extreme? I'm positive it makes getting a firing solution a real pain but the Steamers seemed to be wasting a lot of time turning.
