Definately don't try to get all of them in one big attempt. This being your first convoy you're going to be stressed to the max. I know, I had the same thing. I completely FUBAR-ed it trying to hit 4 ships around me from inside a convoy, and all of them having the same impact time. Naturally not a single torpedo hit home. K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stuppid)
The tankers are all in the center column. Collumns are not as easy to hit all-in-one as you can with rows (90 degree aproach/zero gyroangle, waiting to fire when each target passes the periscope-line: distant target impacts same time as nearest). Depending on the time or distance they have to go to port-entry. You either try 3 seperate times from outside of the convoy, waiting until the right row is in front of you (and the specific target passes the line). Or you go stealthy inside the columns and wreak havoc from ahead moving to the rear. The 3 seperate attacks would be my favourite after hindsight.
