This all depends on how you play. But usually when i find a convoy i try hard to hang on to it after the initial attack. It seems more realistic and i "pretend" that either sometimes i get a radio message to break off attack or get a message to continue to shadow and attack. BUT i noticed lately that destroyers tend to be on the alert after there convoy is attacked onced. I literally shadowed a sierra leone convoy for hours upon hours and tried to work back in to attack, but to no avail. I went miles away from the convoy and waited a day or two and returned. But i was spotted again from like 5500-6000m. Then came the charges for about 1-2 hours everytime. I was never able to work myself back into the convoy. They did a massive course change and speed change and i gave up after only 2 ships sunk.

Do destroyers really get "more" difficult after an initial attack? How long do they stay that way?? Or am i just going nutz? I coulda sworn i was being sneaky but they still spotted me.

The weather was clear, no wind, calm seas. But most of the time my bow was pointed at the destoyer.. eh?
