Night attacks! When u have element of surprise on your side. Closing at the rear of lone merchant, i usually man the deck gun - give order to crew to aim at their weapons, sit on flakvierling and fire at target at 1000-1500 m. With 5-10 seconds advantage, you can destroy it stern deck gun and AA guns (if she have it) by that time she cannot fire her aft deck gun cos u are positioned at her rear. I don't use this tactis often, but sometimes on smaller merchant's which don't have too much guns aboard, or use this against crippled ships and save one eel for the others. This would be probably suicide mission against two or more ships close to each other or attack against Troop Ships, Large Merchants and similar ones which had many guns aboard after 1943.

I asked this cos when i attack like this it would be very useful that i can open fire from other two flaks. I read somewhere that is possible, maybe not in SH3, maybe SH4 or SH5 - not sure... That's why i asked here
