Got this advice from watching Uboat commanders on the History channel.
It works in SH3 too.

I've had good success shooting from inside the convoy, too.
(Says something about the quality of this sim, I think when the best tactics seem to agree with what real U-boat commanders liked to do.)
Word of caution tho .... in large convoys there is a decent chance someone's going to ram you if you aren't keeping aware of the situation, esp in lower visibilty. (Like you're really caught up in calculating that perfect torpedo solution... watch out!)
I've had to order "back emergency" on a couple of occasions.
Once I even scraped the bow ever so slightly all down the hull of a small merchant. Scraaaaappe! (Only 1% hull integrity loss.) Gave me and the crew the willies, and probably gave the ship captain something to think about, too!
