It's 12 noon. The sun is high and the day is bright.
Waters are fairly calm.
My torpedoes are the early propelled kind. The year is 1939.
Does this change anything that you advised? Should I follow the convoy until night fall?

Escorts?
A lot depends on your position. If you are ahead of the convoy on their track, a daylight submerged attack will work. Just be careful slipping past the lead escort, if any. After you attack, drop back, reload, and work your way around again to a favorable position.
If you are out of position, get just out of visual range and do the classic end around. Then attack from ahead from on the surface or submerged, depending on the time and visibility.
Rememeer a couple of things:
1. Patience.
2. Anybody can shoot torpedoes to hit. The hard part is getting in front of your target in good position to shoot.
3. Patience.
