We just do not have the convoys correct! What can we do?

Some good points.
Having too many veteran crewed escorts insure your destruction no matter what. But, that happens at 7 escorts One in the lead and 2 on each flank..
What I search for is something that better resembles reality. I believe reducing the sensors is worth a try because in so doing we can increase the number of escorts.
We can have 20 and that does not cause a traffic jam because they simply fan out which would also be somewhat real.
Increasing the ship spacing makes it less real as they were never as wide as we need to have them. Adding more columns is real but places the wing escorts too far away to respond as if they do not know a ship was sunk at all.
I want the escorts coming after me. I want a bunch of them but I donâ€™t want them to drop DCes like they are fire and forget homing cans. I love it extremely difficult but I want a chance and I want it in a manner than simulates reality (as we believe it is from what sources tell us)
I will run the first patrols tonight on the escort increased number/reduced crew rating to all â€œ2â€ and see what happens.
I am betting further senor quality will need reduction.
Foe me the fun is in 1943-45 where the competition is tough!
