When ships are put to sleep and then wake up when attacked this could also trigger an ai routine to go evasive or at least turn maybe,
the problem is then they have to perform an anti collision routine or they could all start colliding with each other if you have a sizable convoy or fleet.
This has been proposed before along with men jumping overboard using the column ai that run away when attacking vehicles.
Shipping damage isn't all hit and sink, I have missions where they have been hit and are slowed up due to flooding but don't sink.
The rest is more like a ship sim that an aircraft one though.
