It's not a bug I like, while the escorts drive you down, the convoy could get away. The escorts stopping to listen is fine, and would work regardless of what the convoy does.

Also, the IJN used active pinging a lot. To their detriment, even, since escorts would frequently lead the convoy pinging the whole way, and US subs would hear the pinging and head the right way without even having to see smoke or masts.

Yeah, no kidding. Constant pinging is wasn't in SHIII either. In both SH III and SH IV if you hear pinging they have found you. If not then you are still concealed.

I guess they should have made SH4 an open boat where we run around inside and shoot each other a 1000 times. They seem to handle those games with numerous patches. --Longam UBI SHIV Forums

A sad day has dawned...
