Default Panic attacks

The wolfpacks feature is not really worth having IMHO. A worthy effort but the game is not up to it. Trailing a convoy is very difficult because the maximum possible daytime visibility is much too short in the game, and it's boring micromanaging things for hours on end. The pack arrives eventually but then it all goes wrong because of the game's limited AI.
I've managed to achieve three pack attacks. One happened at dusk and I saw very little except a merchant going down and a lot of depth charges being dropped, but the other two were at dawn and were pure comedy. The attacking boats used torpedoes and deck guns in a suicidal attack and all ended up stopped at periscope depth under a hail of inaccurate fire from the merchants. When the escorts ran in for depth charge attacks they sailed straight into this and were all sunk.
