in fact i want to put in discuss the escot ship follow main ship, a little adjustment for this.

adjust the follow range ( and fix this range escort patrol) at ... 3 elevation guns (bb5 guns) and never cross the main ship in this way, just guard arround main ship. i use escort form ever i play and everybody are dissapointed by escorts because cross the main ship ofen (especially CL escorts ships). for this reason almost nobody use escorts ships. why i use? form faraway for ss search and discovery, and for AA fun, i a lot of battles made better job like AA cover from players little ships ( cl, ca) and from faraway from cv fighters cover.

my usually escort ship is emerald uk cl because can set speed to 22-25 with dd engine, speed who prevent to cach me and cross me.

 

i hope this will be easy to do, set and fix the escort patrol range arround main ship.

And how about the gun elevation and setting doesn't change instantly from shot to shot.

I use the escort frequently when I have my CV.

The only command you can issue to the escort is " = "; to Cease Fire or Open Fire with the guns.

An additional command should include throttle control.  The ability to slow or speed up the escort would help tremendously with crossing problems.  Currently, the only existing method to modify the ship's speed is the original setup of the escort (ship type, engine type, armor, supports, etc.). 

Escorts should also have some flag or indicator above them so that other team mates know the difference between a dumb escort and an actual player.  I've seen plenty of players get angry at a dumb escort, as if that has any effect.   Also, if an escort crosses a BB, and it's time to fire his guns...well, that's too bad for the escort.  No penalty should be levied towards the BB player who rips an escort to pieces that happened to cross in front of him.
