All you need to do is fire a torp from long range, M14, they see the wake, they'll slow down and go into a zig pattern. I even use the DG, 5-6000 yards works well. Obvious this is a night tactic.
Haul arse after the first hit or they see the torps. Escorts will head to where the torps came from, you should be long gone then, you should now have an exposed flank to attack with your next end around. Takes timing, but works great.
I'll often get found out at long range on purpose by radar, torp wake.
Usually I do it from the front of the group about 5000 yards to a flank.
When the escorts chasing get about 6000 yards I'll dive flank and head to my attack point. The escorts will go to where you dived, so go deep and fast and head away, if you can get 2000 yards away from where you dived before they get there, they probably won't find you. You should be able to come up and attack why the escorts are searching where you dived.
