Default Zig-zagging convoys in GWX 3.0

I've just encountered a convoy in the eastern atlantic in October 1939, and unless my eyes decieve me it's strated to zig-zag in course!
Seems pretty lifelike to me.
Is this a new feature of GWX 3.0?

No, its stock SH3 behaviour. The dev team weren't idiots, they just weren't as realism-oriented as us.

I'm afraid not. If the convoy started zigzaging, it means you have been detected. Or the convoy got attacked by someone else.
