[REQ] Info regarding IJN tactics

[vanjast]

I'm playing RFB but I think this might be a game modelling thing.

I'm find that every time I attack a convoy, if..
1) they discover me before I shoot
2) A ship sees my torpedo...

The whole convoy (ship) slows down. -- Is this a game modelling thing/Tactic used then, OR is it a side effect of the MODS.

It becomes predictable as I fire a torp at the bow knowing it's going to miss, and when then fire the rest of the spread at the stern, which has destroyed the ship every time.

Any ideas...

It's a game "feature". Before patches (ie ver 1.0), they would actually stop . You could pick them off like--well--stopped ships. Patches ended that but they do still slow down when you're detected.

99.9% sure that mods don't affect this behavior.
