Thanks a great idea. But maybe as a single mission for now. I think that would be a huge FPS killer!
One way to limit the FPS impact would be to model the convoys after the small, high-speed transport convoys that the Allies ran sometimes. 4-6 ocean liners or fast freighters won't create much of a hit on the average PC. This would have the added advantage of shorter transit time - no steaming at 5 Knots with 30 tramp steamers.
