Good question and a tough call. It's no submarine picnic, let me tell you! Earlier in the war the escorts aren't so smart and don't have as sophisticated equipment as they do later. But later on it gets pretty tough! They get smarter and have better equipment. Maybe I need to get better at my tactics, but I like to try and take out at least one escort if I can so that I have a 'hole' in their defense to work through. But those escorts don't just sit there and offer themselves up like a sitting duck! At least not later on in the war. When I get closer to a convoy I find that they will increase and vary their speed, and zig-zag, making them quite hard to target.

Nice advice. I am curious, what do you do when you are engaging a convoy and it starts to get into shallower waters. Do you disengage and let the convoy go?
