Well, excluding the stern tubes, if you ever get to use anything more than 4, they're doing something wrong. You don't get a chance to reload in fire again in a convoy battle. At least in that iteration.
You can attack the escorts, but ONLY if doing so gives you a huge advantage. If theres one, maybe a second escort, and taking them allows you to attack the convoy with your deck gun, then go for it. But don't miss. Even a single pissed off escort will ruin your day. Better to wait and ambush the prime targets in a convoy.
