Leave SH3 convoys as they are atm (uboat friendly until 1942 - "SH3 version of PQ-17") or induce some panic/changes to make a bit harder and realistic?

I'm sure that if this have happened in real world... Knowing that the enemy was right there close to them, many ship capts wouldn't be waiting to see their ship destroyed in their slow convoy formation. They would have break formation and scatered to increase their chance of survival

Anyway just a thought!

Facing wolf packs they didnt scatter! They are famous for keeping their formation under fire. They would change course and the escorts keep the u-boats submerged. You said you attacked the escorts, did you do it with manual targeting? In reality it was rare to get a good shot at an escort. And it was a risky business with early war torpedos. It wasnt until -43 when the acoustic torps came wich were intended for taking out the escorts first. Until then, unless its right in front of you, dont shoot at the escorts.
