Most escorts ever?

It sounds to me like all those escorts should have located your sub and sunk
it. If everyone got away, I think that those escorts need to be beefed up
somewhat to at least give the player some real tough moments. I don't
remember ever getting to the point when the escorts were good enough to
actually sink me unless I made a glaring mistake. The one exception to that
was ole "Bungo Pete". He stuck to me like glue and the only way to get away
was to KILL him....

Part of the problem I saw on the surface when I was looking was that 22 seemed to create more confusion for the IJN than it did for helping it.

DD were constantly stopping and going into reverse to allow others to continue on their course, or they couldn't drop because of the proximity of a friendly ship.

I think any more than 3 mebbe 4 DD doing a search pattern is optimum. Any more and the AI goes nuts trying to coordinate em all.
