I'm not prepared to dive in these massive files (again) right now but this will certainly stay on my "to do" list for future updates...  |
In the end it is "just" changing the first EscortUnit and the first ConvoyUnit definiton for each convoy, but do it for all the convoys, times the number of campaigns featuring those convoys, yes I must agree that it is quite a lot of work...

If I remember correctly, you wanted to replace the first ConvoyUnit with a destroyer, for making it harder for the player to kill/damage her, but why do you say "I was trying". Didn't your trick work and you gave it up, or you have found a proper fix to the problem?
One of the advantages of my idea is that in theory it would make easier for the player to identify the leaders, and to avoid as much as possible attacking them. We could even use some super-duper harmored ships in this role...

Let's wait for CaptBones' advise on your changes
