I wish there was a way to fix convoy positioning as well with 1000 meters between columns and 500-600 meters between ships in the same column.

It still makes me sigh...

I'm retired too. Yes, I looked into changing their positions long ago and it's a mind numbing job to do so.
Plus even if done, they still will do their silly, ahistorical tactic of completely leaving the convoy on a routine basis and sail off into the distance for a few minutes.
All one has to do for a successful attack is wait for them to do that, reload, do it again, etc., etc.
