So, did anybody figure out whether this could be made to work in any reasonably acceptable way for convoys?

Even if the setting has to be the same for every ship in any given convoy as seems to be indicated above, making all the "outbound"/empty convoys even 1.5m higher and "inbound"/fully-laden convoys maybe 1.5 or 2m lower would still seem likely to make a discernable difference (3-3.5m swing from empty to full), and maybe the escorts wouldn't sink if they were only that much lower than normal.

Even if this could only be done with single/unescorted ships, there's a fair amount of unescorted tanker traffic (at least in the Drumbeat period) that would be cool to see this effect in action on. This would be so cool if it would work.
