Or don't fire a salvo. Because you probably won't hit a thing by doing so.

Instead, take your time to get inside the screen (difficult in the best of times) then pick two easy-ish ships to go after (don't be tempted into going after the "biggest," pick two that your skills can handle). Carefully shoot at the first one (1 torpedo) and, if time allows, the second. Just as if they were loners.

Then dive, as quietly as possible, and take the regular evasive actions (there's tons of threads on here about how to do that, so just search and you will find answers to all of your questions).

But spraying a salvo at a convoy and hoping is about as effective (and a whole lot riskier) as spraying a salvo into the open ocean.
