Alright these escorts AI is seriously broken, HOWEVER, they are not useless.

First of all, if someone is following you, how do you stop him? You cut off his legs! Give
your escort CL a DD engine, watch him chase behind you at 15 knots, haha pitiful fool. Now
he will never cross you.

Second, with this speed they'll absorb a LOT of torpedos, pack on BULGE! if you see a torp
wall, hide behind your escort! Remove all deck/belt, but on 100% bulge (you should fit
alot because of the small engine).

I would suggest only AA guns, since he will get the occasional enemy plane, but normal
guns may work too. Guns are optional, though (You could just use BO and a lot of bulge hehe)

@l231d : "Remove al Deck/Belt"

It has been prooved long time ago that 0.2 Belt divides torp damge by 2 (0.2 belt,
no need 0.5 it doesn't divide by 5, requires alot more for make any significant
change)

SD also help for Torp damages, put some Restorers on your escort.

Otherwise this post isn't really usefull,a torp wall is easily avoidable, and if TBs hunt
you, same, the only thing it could have a use is against a Sub, and a good sub
wouldn't put a single torp on your escort adn your escort would not take a single
torp, it can only be a bad thing if the escort is close to you and got hit by the torp
dealing you splash damages while if there was nothing the torp would ran too far
for splash.

I tend to use my escort more in gb2 battles with AA and a sonar on board than
anything else. and that's only on occasion with my CV, since the damned thing gets in
the way of my BB's guns. it's not worth it if I hit it and lose exp from a friendly shot

Actually thats incorrect. RN has the LIGHTEST (and therefore best) belt and deck, not
sure on bulk. The best bulge (according to NF iirc) is japan. So theoretically a mogami
would do well for this.
