First let me say welcome to the forum.
Second, you really need to upgrade to GWX 3.0
Third, The escorts in most version of GWX really start to be equipped with radar in early 1943.
I would say try these tactics again in April - May 1943 and see if your luck changes. im sure it will.
I'll add that GWX 3.0 fixes a lot of minor things - give it a whirl if you desire. i can promise a challenge, though you are still sort of in "the happy times" in 1942... i mean the USA only JUST NOW got involved in the war... radar will really start to make the scene around spring of 43
good luck
