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?

If you have never attacked a convoy before, I would certainly wait until night. Clear skies and calm seas do not add up to good weather in the game.
If you have T1 torpedoes, they will leave a steam trail. Merchants do not notice this (cue Gargamel), but the escorts might -- and if they do, all merchants start zig-zagging. I wouldn't worry too much, just don't send one right across an escort's path.
With calm seas, you are in the lucky position of being able to disable a merchant with your torpedo, letting the convoy move on, and finishing her off with the deck gun.
