IRL, the routes varied. It was unlikely that two consecutive convoys on the same route designation would follow the same course.
Convoys were given designations which indicated their origin and destination (for instance an 'HX' convoy was one that went from Halifax to Britain), but the route they planned to travel in between these points was determined by the current intelligence situation. In fact, the route of a convoy was often altered while at sea as a result of information about u-boat locations obtained through Ultra intercepts.
While the game engine does allow for some randomization of routes, the game rarely reflects the extreme variations that took place IRL. This is one of the factors that results in too many ship sightings in the game.
