If the dd has you on radar, which may be the case at long distance, you should plan on diving under the radar arc. A zig zag pattern may not be on a fixed course, so tracking by TDC to predict the torpedo intercept point man not be feasible. If the dd is ahead of the convoy, follow the dd on radar until it passes your position, proceed to periscope depth after, and go after the convoy which is following it.

In TMO 1.9, remaining at periscope depth when a destroyer is closing can be risky as there is a good chance it will spot you, especially later in the war.
