Convoys in RUB, SH3Comm & Improved Convoys

I play RUB using SH3Comm 1.43; both 1.42 and the new 1.43.

These mods I gather now incorporate the Improved Convoys mod.

In one of the other threads one of the guys behind Improved Convoys stated that he wanted feedback so that better versions can be made.

So.....

5 patrols, over 2 careers; both careers starting in September 39 with the 2nd flotilla. That works out as 2 in September, 2 in October, and 1 in December. A convoy encountered on each patrol, and each convoy it appears has had 3 Destroyers and a Corvette as an esccort!

There is variation in the make up of the convoys. One I recall had a couple of small tankers and 1/3 US ships. Another convoy had a T2 and T3 tanker along with a troop transport; one seemed to be an even mix of English ships with Norwegian, Swedish and Greek ships and was mostly smaller merchants. Finally the convoy I have just sighted seems to be C2 and C3 merchants, some smaller merchants and a warship in the middle (not close enough to make out what it is yet, but guess its a cruiser from what other threads say).

Now I thought that the convoys were not well protected in 39. Whilst some of the convoys described above might merit better protection, some surely not. :hmm:

When I worked out last night that this latest convoy had the exact same number of escorts, I must say my enthusiasm did slip.

Am I being unreasonable in feeling that there may be something amiss with the escort composition?
