Convoy escorts

Do convoy escorts only come into the picture during wartime? None of my escorts seem to be doing anything with any of my convoy routes — the route info always says 0 escorts.

When you're at peace, the escorts are not deployed--they're sitting your escorts pool.

Once you become involved in a war, you'll see them jump out of your pool and into the various convoy routes.

Not always, I think it is dependant on the enemy navy. As UK I hadwiped out the Kriegsmarine via ampib landing and my convoys to Norway and Bahamas etc were unescorted, but my convoys to Malta, Crete etc. were escorted coz of the Italian Navy. I had c.200 spare escorts and each of my convoys in the Med had a c.50%/50% transport/ escort mix. This was on auto-convoy.

AFAIK, the ai decides whether a convoy-route is considered to be threatened or not... and the number of accompanying escorts may vary, because the ai tries to evade endangered routes...
