Some roaming escorts?

I agree, we will improve the escort AI. We discussed some behaviors that we could tweak, such as a sub routine for an escort that, when getting no results from sonar sweeps, will race at top speed to an adjacent area and perform a sweep. that would have an arresting impact on the player, to be keeping an eye on a destroyer and then see that destroyer moving across the sea at 35 knots, the player has no idea what his intention is. "Have I been detected? Why is he doing this where is he going?"

Also, escorts should move to within 2000 m of a torpedoed ship as part of their search routine.

Last, we will focus more attention on periscope detection, Oscar mentioned a timer type of system with range, lighting and u-boat speed factors. I hope that at some point it would be very dangerous to leave your Periscope up for 30 seconds with the destroyer 2000 away in daylight.
