Weird convoy beahvior

Hello all!
I just jumped to SH4 a couple of days ago and tonight I ran onto my first convoy (a very large one)!
I went past the escorts and fired 4 torps. 3 Of them hit and I got 1 kill and 1 wounded merchant. I dived to aprox. 50 meters and waited for the escorts to begin hunting me and so they did for about 10 minutes with no effect. After I waited a little longer I went to PD to take a look and to my suprise I saw allmost all the merchants stoped (or moving real slow). Also 3 of the escorts (cruisers) were dead stopped and searching with their lights.
I searched the posts here and saw that this was an issue prior to patch 1.3. I run the game with patch 1.4 that I installed on top of 1.3. Does anyone now if this behavior is
normal or should I have installed 1.4 without 1.3 before?

Never mind.... it seems that I was quick to ask

After 4 hours or so they continued on their course .... It looks like they were waiting for one of the ships to get repaired(?).
Thanks prologos
