Per the rules, I could understand a limited escort attack on the raider (something like: half normal attack value only one attack per escort) if both were in the same sea zone. That deterrence is accounted for in the modifiers added to the die roll opposing the raider. Conceptually, an escort is spending its resources to deter raiding. That they should get to fire at all is questionable. In HBG’s convoy raiding youtube video, for example, escorts off the coast of Canada and Britain are able to fire halfway across the Atlantic at German subs. What is the justification for allowing an escort to remotely attack the raiding submarines when the escort may be several SZs (and thousands of miles) away from the sub? I’ve looked through the HBG forum and at the youtube video on convoy raiding.
