But once you decide to attack it its another story...
You just need more practice, and perhaps better weather. Attacking a convoy in reduced visibility weather and rough seas is fairly easy after you have done it a few times.

As others have noted, the pickings are rich and concentrated. On my new career, we killed the Revenge and two modern tankers from one convoy over a two hour period. The escorts never peeped, and I pulled back only because it got too dark to see anything. I would have had to patrol for weeks to run across two modern tankers, and I doulbt I ever would have found the Revenge chugging along at 5 knots.
