Foxers aren't all that. They have significant drawbacks.
First of all, a ship towing a foxer would be detectable by hydrophone at least 140km away. Any foxer mod would need to include this.
Second, destroyers towing foxers are limited in their top speed. As far as I know, most SH3 players use GNATs to take out the escorts and then use T3s for the cargo ships.
Finally, German engineering created the T11, which ignores Foxer noise, towards the end of the war.
