The end around. That is my tactic of choice as well. I'll get infront of the convoys plot, use the ruler to get an idea where the center of the convoy will be passing, then park myself slightly off of that line. If there are a lot of escorts I'll dive deep and wait for the escorts to pass before popping back up to PD.

Depending on my torp situation I'll either set myself up for bow or stern shots to try and keep from emptying one room and leaving the other full. You never know when you'll need to DTT a DD.
