Run into a large convoy "escorted" only by an aux cruiser

First, the 'deck gun vs corvette' idea: good thing it's only a game. Nicholas Monsarrat recounted an incident in which a u-boat surfaced behind his corvette. Guess what the real ones had back there? A 40mm AA gun. Killed the entire u-boat deck crew, including the captain.

As for your last corvette fleeing, he might not have. If the weather was bad enough (you didn't say) he might have sunk. Another possibility is that he shot at your periscope and accidentally hit one of the merchants. In SH3 that makes him an instant enemy, and the others might have blasted him to oblivion. Silly, but it happens in the game.
