The first was that the ships where able to load almost everything, from tanks to trains (if I remember correctly, even steam machines), so they dont should weight more depending on cargo?

The second was the convoy, acording to them, a normal convoy was composed of 60 ships travelling in formations of 4, with the ships carring fuel in the inner.

That could be a very big convoy ingame, by the images there was a lot of ships there. Thanks to the game I recognized a small tanker on the ww2 film

You've got to get yourself the "Improved Convoys" Mod, it quadruples the size of convoys, from the stock game, making it more realistic.

I think I saw a convoy in the IC mod that had 30-60 Liberty Cargo Ships in it.
