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)

Agreed, particularly about the AA guns. Escorts are meat walls, they shouldn't be tking
or stealing kills from you.

You've got to get ships that can fit at least 120 bulge, for example I use the Mpro with
light crew.

Any CL2 works, mogami, brooklyn, mpro, edinburgh.

What ships would be best as a torp shield?

Had an Atlanta with 35 bulge but it only took 3 torps before bulge was gone and
health was in yellow.
