556 ? HX-150 (Sep-41)
649 371 none
649 463 HX-212 (Oct-42), GUF-3 (Dec-42)
741 371 PQ-18 (Sep-42)
741 463 none
741 556 none
927 463 HX-221 (Dec-42), HX-246 (Jun-43)
927 556 SC-7 (Oct-40), WS-6 (Apr-41), ON-270 (Dec-44)
927 741 ONS-5 (Apr-43)
927 ? HXS-300 (Jul-44)
? 556 KMS-18B (Jun-1943)
Personally I would use a random mix of the combinations above, with a preference for larger spacings (especially the 927 by 556 m formation) from October '40, and even more from August 1942. Also note that the shortest spacings need to be tested, as ships in game might tend to scatter in panic of collision, when steaming in close-formation convoys.

Great! I'll take your info into account next time when randomizing distances...

Awesome! The best would be one lifeboat with merchant performances and one with destroyer...

Although, just one is perfectly OK for a start...
