Effectiveness lost at sea and convoy attack

When I read this:

I wonder. Does effectiveness lost at sea for fleets is taken into account when calculating losses against a convoy?

I do not wish to read that since it is the game I am playing...

I am not sure ncc...Subs don't loose efficiency so this had no effect on them.
Ships and CVs do...

I suspect not...

Does efficiency have an effect on Sub Hunting?
Convoy escorts do not even have efficiency.

All interesting questions.

BASED on an imperfect test..

I maxed out convoys to India from US / UK

Then sent down the 6 Japanese CVs to hunt.

Efficiency UK Sunk US Sunk
100% 10 9
76% 7 7
58% 6 5

Based on that I would say yes...efficiency is counted.

100% is. For ships they have limited fuel, bullets, bombs.

Subs are much simpler. Either they have torpedoes or they don't thus why it is simple based on supply.

Al I believe the question was...

Does efficiency effect the damage that surface ships cause to convoys...
My best guess is yes with my minimal test.
