Convoy Evasive maneuvers

Got a question about Ai. Running TMO 2.5 and RSRDC.

So I recently set up an attack on a 6 ship convoy with three escorts. As I was making my final observations to fire on my target, one of the escorts must have spotting my periscope because he came charging towards me and the convoy started zig zagging. I adjusted my solution, fired a wide spread of 4 and made the kill anyway.

I evaded and did an end around and set up again for another attack. As the convoy approached I could see they were still doing zig zags. It was probably almost 24 hours later. In previous missions, I've noticed the convoys will stop zig-zagging after 12 hours or less. This one is still doing it almost a day later and they didn't detect me after the initial attack.

Is this a bug, by design in TMO or historically accurate?
