It just takes timing and really not that hard.
My favorite convoys to attack are late war Formosa, shallow water and usually many Type AB's. You better learn to pull them and keep them far in your stern so you can attack, nothing worse than having an elite group of 3-8 Type AB's catching you in shallow water of 150ft...With cams off I've been in my sub and felt like a rubber ball being bounced around the ocean making that mistake, depth charges going off like machine gun fire.
