Default Random Convoy Evasion

I was playing Grey Wolves 1.0 with the update 1.1 and i noticed a strange but smart convoy manuver. While i was chasing a convoy approaching the southern area between Britian and Ireland the convoy was going a straight North eastern route when i attacked it. Sank 2 ships and it did its normal evasive manuvers and i fell back and reloaded my torps. After i fell behind i caught up to the convoy about 2 hours later and it was still headed NE. As i was setting up and all that the convoy drastically changed course to ENE in a organized manuver. Upset at this manuver i fell back to see what they were doing, but they continued on this ENE course so i tried to set up again. Again they switched course and headed east. All this in about 2-3 hours. I fell back once again. I checked if i was detected but i wasnt, then an hour later they went back NE. It was about 1000 when this happened. I caught up and sunk 1 more ship then left because of the proximity of england.

Now i remember a while ago reading one of our modders talking about doing these types of things to convoys. Changing their courses randomly to throw off uboat attacks and challenging us to set up again. I was excited about this because of the realism factor (convoys usually switch courses at night and morning) but then i never heard about this again. I was just wondering if this was implemented in Grey Wolves?? :hmm: If it was thats an excellent feature and i accepted the change with enthusiznm (sp?), if it wasnt, what the HELL was this convoy doing?? All the manuvers were executed flawlessly, no ships fell out of convoy, and none of those weird convoy bugs occured where ships go every which way. Im definately not complaining!
