There were a line behind the one lead escort all weaving back and forth at the head of the convoy.
On the flanks they were layered three deep. As I approached from the starboard side of the convoy the escorts started getting in line to make their runs at me. I felt like the women in the movie Airplane when everyone was taking turns slapping her.

I never got near the convoy and it was early 44 so guess what, that was correct.

As I said I can pop the escorts because unlike real Kaleuns when I die I get to start a new career and learn. But, even if you sink ten of them the remaining ones will still blast you and as was pointed out our job is to stem the supplies not win battles.

Having been on vacation from GWX and relaxing in the Pacific (SH4) where no effort is required to avert AS weapons I started GWX2.0 from the beginning of the war so am up to fall 1940 trying to get ready for the end of happy days and the beginning of hell in the water.

While I had to double or triple the number of escorts in past GW this one they upped the numbers so I only added another 30-50%.
