The waypoint speed variations are of course for the most part a non historical feature. They are however part of a bigger game play concept than simply changing speeds for the sake of it.

The changing of speeds…
1. It removes the turkey shoot of “oh it’s a slow convoy so it is always 6 knots, it’s a medium convoy its 10 knots etc” or “it’s a merchant then the speed is always 6 knots and it is an escort the speed is always 14 knots”
2. Simulates different weather conditions effects that allowed a convoy to make better or worse speed something that doesn’t occur in the game
3. Simulates different ships & convoys on the same path i.e. better than creating 4 instances on the one convoy path for each speed possibility
4. Adds a new dimension to finding a convoy when within 24 hours a convoy could be anywhere within a 96 kilometre radius. Making the player 'hunt' for his convoy and not just have the convoy delivered to him.

As you can see, 4 GREAT game play features!

I am having trouble understanding why such an ardent GW supporter is spending SO much time looking for perceived ‘faults’ and ‘errors’ in the NYGM TW Mod and taking every opportunity to post on them in NYGM threads?

Constructive criticism is one thing that NYGM have never shirked away from, I do however fail to see the purpose of your posts to the NYGM threads and in the end what good this does for the community as a whole?
