At the moment when I get a convoy defence mission, the convoy usually just spends its time merrily sailing around in circles, even though they know that there's an enemy taskforce on their heels.
It would be very nice if the convoy always makes a B-line to the nearest friendly port (or maybe a predetermined destination port). In this case, you don't have to defend the convoy until time runs out (as it is now), but you defend it until it reaches safety.

Aren’t convoys supposed to scatter?? I mean think about it, enemy gets pre occupied with taking out a single merchant while the rest hope for the best to get out of LoS.
Scattering should be the main maneuver for all convoys in this game once an enemy ship is sighted. It was extremely rare IRL to sink every ship of a convoy - in RTW it's the rule not the exception.
