Weird convoy beahvior

DD's looking for you for a long time is quite good in my opinion. It makes the game more challlenging. But for the rest of the convoy to stop (even if they were waiting for a ship to repair) stroke me as very odd! The british never did that in SH3!

Well, I also think it is a good thing that they keep searching. But they were all wrong with releasing the depth-charges, releasing them hundreds of meters away from me all the time, and still keep on following me.
They seem to have the slightest idea of where I am, but they aren't sure.

Also, is the distraction sonar really effective? I released a couple of them, followed another course, released another one, and got back on course. But the destroyers don't seem to notice them. The flares on a airplane are something simular, but more for attacks. Thgis sonar is more to mislead your opponant. But the AI seems to be pretty clever here.

Also, if somebody has some good tips for sneaking to a enemy without getting spotted, then I am really glad to hear it.

Most of the time they stop so that the escort DDs can get a fix on you without too much backdround signals from their own ships. Makes sense to me. One nutty sailor I spoke to said they stop hoping you can fire a torp so the rest can see where you are.
