In part of the tactics there is a function that tells the AI to use full speed until it reaches x distance from contact. During this full speed run it ignores whether it has the contact detected or not. It's main goal is just to reach the last position of the contact it detected (and hopefully detect the contact on the way to this destination). There is a maximum amount of time that a contact can be lost before the current tactic is reset or the escort is told to resume following waypoints. If at the end of this full speed run that time has been exceeded then the escort will immediately return to following waypoints (which can mean returning back to convoy).
There are parameters in the init.aix file that one can adjust to tweak the AI for testing purposes. Try playing with all the values to help me adjust the AI. For convoy changing direction there are many parameters that affect this:
CONVOY_LEADER_ACTION_SPEED_CHANGE_MIN = 0.4;
CONVOY_LEADER_ACTION_SPEED_CHANGE_MAX = 0.8;
CONVOY_LEADER_ACTION_COURSE_CHANGE = 40.0;
CONVOY_LEADER_ACTION_COURSE_SPEED_CHANGE_TIME = 4.0;
CONVOY_LEADER_CONTACT_LOST_CONTINUE_ACTION_TIME = 600.0; # 10 mins
MERCHANT_CONVOY_LEADER_ACTION_SPEED_CHANGE_MIN = 0.5;
MERCHANT_CONVOY_LEADER_ACTION_SPEED_CHANGE_MAX = 0.9;
MERCHANT_CONVOY_LEADER_ACTION_COURSE_CHANGE = 45.0;
MERCHANT_CONVOY_LEADER_ACTION_COURSE_SPEED_CHANGE_ TIME = 2.0;
MERCHANT_CONVOY_LEADER_CONTACT_LOST_CONTINUE_ACTIO N_TIME = 600.0; # 10 mins
