Default Escort commander more pussy than me!

I think I've met the ultimate coward. Its jan 1940. Stumbled across a convoy off the north of ireland and after my usual cautious, will I wont I approach decided to attack on the surface. From what I can see theres only one escort although i cant be sure of the type cos he keeps running away! Set up on their port side at 2000m and fired 2 eels. 2 hits on 2 merchants which was a bit of luck cos i was aiming for 1 ship! Both now stationary but afloat. I then turned 180 and ran away. I mean retreated in a tactical way. Escort cruises on. I came back and decided to find a diff target I'll shell the disabled ones later. Medium merchant, 2 torps down she goes. Escort turns towards me I run away again and he turns back! Resisting the urge to fire a few rounds into his bridge in case I awaken a beast! Start shelling the two stricken merchants at close range while the crew reload the torps keeping an eye on my friend but apart from zig zagging with the convoy he's not interested. Down go the 2 ships. I put on full flank and race up the port side for another attack.
Now I've got 5 torpedoes in their tubes (4 really cos i cant hit jack with the stern tube with manual targeting), 4 hours i reckon till daylight and a chickens**t escort. I take out a pyro ship at the back of the crowd..... still nothing!!!!!! Now I'm not complaining because plenty of his friends would have no problem sinking my ass but I do feel a bit embarrassed for the RN. Its not like he cant see me he's only 3000m away and conditions are perfect. At this point I decided to go to bed but tonight theres gonna be a massacre! Sweet revenge for all the times I've gone down cursing. Is this a glitch or are there really stupid escorts programmed in? I smell an Iron Cross dont think theres enough tonnage there for a Knights Cross
