[REQ] AI tweak?

[finchOU]

I'm running IRAI.

got spotted on the surface by a convoy escort (Jun 1940)..... every escort abandoned the Convoy to try and kill me. While I would normally think this a good thing for AI.....it's not a hunter killer....the convoy is completely unprotected.....and it's mid 1940. I've got to call the realism BS card on this one. The main duty of the escorts was to drive away and force Subs to submerge (early on).... due to the technology being lacking in ASW (early ASDIC and no RADAR)... once the sub was force to dive...the escort might hang around for bit...but would leave rather quickly to go back and protect the convoy. Got 5 escorts just hanging out.

having said the above. The escorts seem too easy too sink as well. They travel at convoy speed and are basically part of the convoy on the same course and bearing. What about having them do AOD behavior of keeping their speed up and doubling back/ making 360's or searching the flanks of the convoy. This make life more difficult for the uboat.

One last thing...after my first encounter with the convoy...I sunk three ships in the middle of the convoy. I proceeded slow and deep (TWSS!) and got to a point where i thought the 3 plus escorts had lost me (about an hour and half later)....I go to periscope depth. I look around and see the 3 escorts hanging around.... but the convoy has been completely stopped and just hanging out at about 5000 meters away (don't think I sunk 'convoy' leader as I sunk ships in the middle). Was just taken a back a bit as the AI is still a bit disappointing... anyone see behavior like this?
