Default Strange CTD when game gets busy and strange convoy behavior.

Hey all.

I have encountered some strange things when playing.

Trying to cross the Gibraltar strait I come across a task group that is fairly heavily guarded. One battleship, one tanker, one carrier. When I torpedo the battleship and carrier the escorts go on alert and then drop dead in the water as if they are vast asleep. From then on it becomes the Great Marianas Turkey shoot.

Then, when sneaking away in the direction of Morocco, early morning, I dare surface decks awash for 5 minutes, get spotted by another escort not part of the task group I massacred and he calls in support from Gibraltar harbor.

14!!! Destroyers and frigates and so on steam high speed to my submerged location with at least 8 more behind them.

I watch all this with my external drone cam (which moves freely).

Then when the destroyers near my location to within 100 meters, bam!!! CTD.

Question1: is that because it becomes too busy? Had it one other time when a wolfpack as well as German surface ships attacked a convoy. I am on an older computer, 2.33ghz dual core, Nvidia 720 but with 30Gb RAM. TWoS 2.2.7 (do not think that with upgraded TWoS this type of CTD will change at all).

Question 2: is it normal for convoys/task forces to "fall asleep" when their capital ships are taken out? 03:25 night.

Any info welcome.
