I have played U-boats plenty and there are sometimes no escorts especially on Trans-Atlantic routes but later on in the war there will be. Most escorts were closer to the continent.

My recommendation is to enjoy it while it lasts. If you are looking for easy tonnage, i've noticed that india is woefully unprotected early game.

The historical reason for the lack of escorts is the fact that the Japanese didn't use submarines for commerce warfare. So most of the escort ships would be in Europe to protect the convoys that by 1943 were heavily guarded from german u-boats.

You have to remember early in the war there were no decent ASW's and killer groups to hunt U-Boats. This is why it was called the Happy Time. For a U-Boat it was like shooting fish in a barrel.

U-Boats ruled the waves. Germany only lost 9 boats in 1939 out of 57 at sea. That was a lot of boats hunting surface ships as compared to 1944 where the loss was 249.

You should expect light to no escorts if your playing the German side in the early war. Operation Mosun is a great mod to add to your list if your running the German U-Boats.
