Problems ,
one, the Germans need to get airborne radar working, OTL that's 1942, not so good in the early war
two, as soon as escort carriers appear, Condors die in great numbers during the day , for example HMS Audacity when escorting OG 76 is credited with 4 in one voyage.
three, to attack at night with any chance of hitting means a large slow steady aircraft at low altitude, once radar guided guns appear around 1940 losses will be high. Naval night fighters from 1943/4 turn it into suicide.
four, Condors can only really cover to 1000 miles out, that would mean heavier escorts on convoys as less need to cover the Eastern Atlantic. When you factor in land based air support , the area to operate in is not that large and rapidly disappears as time passes.
five Condors are expensive and fragile with bases that unlike sub pens cannot be hardened to be bomb proof
