Problem With Escort Positions

[Seaboy]

well here's an idea, use your 'break-up' routine for the early war, cause in truth many of the early convoys DID break up when the shooting started. As for the mid to late part of the war, that would be different.

Are you marking a marchant ship as the group leader?

[iambecomelife]

Yes; I still get the problem anyway.

Are you checking the Escort box for DDs and DEs in the group?

[Jace11]

Anything larger than a DD get incorporated into the convoy formation. Only DD's and smaller get posted around the formation and that only happens when they are selected as "position as escort" otherwise, they too appear in the convoy formation.

Battleships, cruisers and carriers just take up a merchant station inside, usually near the center.
