Some escorts more 'easy' than others?

Oh, I don't question that you will win gun fights against trawlers.
The question is whether it's worth it. Gun battles carry some risk despite a hypercompetent WO's range estimates (which I don't use) and surprising deck gun power at long range (DD sunk immediately after 2nd hit? Eek!); they can occasionally hit from several km away.
Playing DiD and trying my best to get my crew and boat back in perfect condition, I dislike unnecessary risks... things go pear-shaped on their own accord often enough.

I can kill armed trawlers with 1 torpedo the vast majority of times, but I don't have the near-perfect success rate I do against corvettes and destroyers.
Since the small fry is hardly worth an eel in the first place, this is annoying.
