V4_ESCORT_VISUAL_PATCH available on post #1!
Download and once unzipped copy/paste it in your Data/MODS folder.
To be activated very last on your list.

I decreased escort spotting range to around 9Km (depending their skill)
Stock OM was...50Km!!

Clear weather no fog, running X1024 TC, game will drop to 1 TC when destroyer spotted at around 14Km. Knowing he will spot you from 9Km, you have enough time to plan approach

Only with heavy fog you have to be careful with TC...
I tested an escorted convoy in bad weather with heavy fog, my crew was veteran, escort crew veteran also, running X1024 the game dropped to 1 when i spotted destroyer...i could see the destroyer shape in the fog, but around 1 minute later he spotted me!
That’s normal because of heavy fog distances are very close.
So or you crash dive as soon as something is spotted (again in heavy fog) or you have to slow down your surface speed and regularly dive and listen if something is closing (as it was in RL!)

I will include this patch in next V5, if all goes well.
But so far I’m satisfied of the results.
