Amusing Escort behaviour

When I was shadowing a large convoy ; grid AM46 on 30th. December 1940, I was chased down by the usual escorts.

Managed to sink 2 Black Swans, Flower Class and a V+W destroyer, all with stern torps. There was still a Dido class (never seen one before), with the convoy and so I went to safe distance and reloaded torps.

When I found the 20 ship convoy the Dido had put itself right in the middle of the convoy and completely ignored my attacks.

It was as if the Tommy Captain had said to his crew, 'Sod this, its New Years Eve tomorrow' ; 'just keep away from that U-Boat will you?'

Funniest thing I have ever seen in GWX3.
