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)
