convoy question

It depends on how the campaign/mission designer set up the waypoints. It is possible for a waypoint to go to the next (default behavior obviously), or to fork off to a different waypoint based on a certain random probability.

Aside from that, each waypoint can have a random offset around it, within some specified radius. So you can make the track pretty unreliable if you wish.

EDIT: Have a look at this (SH4 Subschool) mission I made in the editor. It makes a single ship choose a series of waypoint which eventually determines it's traveling speed and north or south general direction. Then using the random offset it chooses a specific course to follow.
