Convoy station keeping???

I've started up with SH4 again and the excellent Trigger Maru. Great game, but after my first run in with a convoy I immediately knew again why I threw my copy in the closet the last time ... the horrible convoy station keeping, and offcourse the Japanese supervision that can spot a scope 3km away.

At first, everything is fine. I make my approach, plan my attack and let some fish go. These usually hit. But then, everything goes to sh#t. All ships go twisting and turning like mad, making every conceivable follow-up attack useless. This wouldn't be too bad if it were short-term, but allas, they seem to stay that way throughout the rest of their voyage. I took a distance, doubled back and was ready and loaded for another run. But even 12 hours later the ships were horribly twisting and turning, even running into eachother. In a nutshell: It seems attacking the same convoy can only be done once. After that, setting a manual targettingsolution is a nightmare and a usually a waste of time.

Is there a mod that can undo this, or is this just the way SH4 goes? Cause if it is, I'm back to SH3 + GWX again.
