the certain circumstances usually involve a save and reload.

i have never been able to wantonly recreate the situation but having experienced it enough times during play, i recognize it when it occurs.

for example, i have wiped out an entire convoy. it was small and unescorted. i saved the game, became distracted, and when i returned, i was dead. so, i reloaded the save game and WTF, there is the same convoy i just wiped out, with the same ships, headed in the same direction.

there is no explanation other than it is an unexpected feature. it is what it is.

Same phenomenon as the repair times resetting when you save. In this case though, you go beyond the "spawn range", and the convoy re-sets. You sink the same ship again, and it does not count - you already sank it... even though you just did... "eeetsa Catch-ah twenty-two-ah"...
