A funny ocurrance last night.

I've never nearly struck a ship's corpse like that befor, come close to ramming a ship while trying to shell it to death. I wish I could get the escorts to behave like that for me.

It's the first time I have ever seen an escort do that.

Now one thing I have seen before is if you hit an escort badly, but not sink it, it will disengage and go re-join the convoy, or sail away. I don't know why it does this - either a game bug or perhaps it is programmed in AI that if it takes major damage to disengage.

I don't think I hit this escort before so I don't know why it would not chase after me. I figure after sinking 3 of his buddies he was afraid to come after me!

Perhaps its rudder jammed. Personaly, i would have sat right next to the last ship and wait for the V&W to sink it, then dive and run.
