I tried to take a longer end-around yesterday, and the 4-ship convoy now took on its normal course. On my 2nd pass, I injured 2 ships, after 10 minutes lying still and wallowing with a heavy list. The other 2 cargoships were circling or simply not moving, like they were guarding their buddies with their guns. Strange behaviour to me, since a cargo with 1 gun is no match for an underwater enemy. Too bad I was out of torps!
Anyway, when they circled behind the ships I injured, I quickly raised and put 5 AP rounds in both injured ships, then dove again. They sank within 30 minutes, after which the other 2 ships left on their previous course.
Anyway, taking an end-around further out seems to be the solution to my "problem".
