In 1939 and 1940 I usually attack convoys on the surface. The Escorts are not that good and you have high maneuverability when you're on the surface. For such an attack to be a success you have to follow these simple rules:
1. Wait until is dark enough so that it is difficult for the escorts to see you visualy.
2. Always approach at decks awash in order to minimise your visible cross section.
3. Try to approach at an angle of approximately 45deg towards the convoy and pass behind the nearest escort.
4. As soon as you've penetrate the escort shield line up the boat and fire your torpedoes in quick succession. Try to make them hit at the same time if possible
5. After the torpedoes are fired turn around quickly and fire onle last shot from the aft.
6. Now depending on the weather conditions you can either go away at full speed on the surface or dive deep and escape silently.
