A convey with zero protection?

I ended up sinking 11 ships with 53000 tons.



Now my question is....Is this realistic/historical?? Shouldn't the ships in the convey at least disperse each on a different direction, or thats not possible with the game engine?

I was using GWX 3.0, with some various small mods.

Early in the war some ships formed convoys (of a sort) because they tthought it was safer to be in numbers.

The game engine won't allow ships to scatter....simply commence zig zagging.
