Good observation. I kinda 'knew' this but hadn't realised it until you mentioned it!

Nearly all of my recent convoys have included at least one burning escort. I was wondering whether IRL that would be accurate, as most sub attacks would not result in escort damage? Now if the convoy was under air attack that might be different, although the aircraft would presumably also target the merchants etc before escorts?

Having said all of that, burning escorts look really cool and do give a sense of 'something else goin on aprt from my actions'.
