see thats the problem. you dont go for the MASSIVE convoys with 5 escorts. its just too risky. the chances are too slim for the stuff your pulling. try looking for smaller convoys. the escorts are more spread out, which helps. i always try to take out a destroyer if i can. its just too hard to silenty slip by. wait till there close. make sure your bow is facing them. set torp speed to fast, and itll most likely hit. 1 torp can easily take out a dd, 2 at max. at MAX. you fire a torp in the midship of a destroyer hes usually gonna die right then or a minute after. although sometimes itll take a few minutes. i saw one that took one right in the middle and the bow was literally out of the water for like a minute and the stern completely submerged before i see the going down message. hit one in the back or front its like a 50/50 chance. but almost always theyre gonna try to pull one last run on you before they go down. then, usually its just 1 at the rear of a small convoy and then take out the other merchants and the front one sometimes continues on like nothings happened or attack you. if he does dive and evade. THATs when you do it. when they arent close to you. if hes close just run to flank speed and take evasive action. close-up dds can detect a mouse fart, so it doesnt matter what you do. so just run and set up for a stern or bow shot. if hes depth charged you, you cant run. so fight.
