Sometimes escorts just get 'suspicious'. I've been laying in front of a convoy, well to the side of the lead escort, with engine off and periscope down, and he's started to do the snake search. They just get suspicious sometimes. Not sure if it is related to any real capacity.

As far as I can tell, they always zig-zag, because they have a sonar/hydrophone blind zone aft of them. If they drove straight ahead, they'd also be more vulnerable to attack.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes , they do the snake pattern sometimes in the convoys , perhaps suspicious about something, it is dangerous if the scort is near because they can force you to dive

Yeah, on second thought, they for whatever reason don't "do the snake" when not escorting merchants or battleships. Strange, seeing they did it in reality (at least the US warships in the Pacific did, so it'd make sense for the others to do it, too?).
