The two other torpedoes than went on to take out a cargo ship way over on the other side of the convoy. Heh. Then I got away.
I'm sailing a Type VII/B.
How deep would be considered desirable?

Early war, 200 M should be sufficient, late war, as deep as you dare to take her. Just remember the more damage you take, the less deep you can go without severely crushing.
As to going into the convoy, I've used it a few times, but I prefer outside shots from about 4km or 5km. Why?? Like I stated before, if I set my torpedos to slow, I can be a good few km ahead of the convoy before they even impact, which is good, because thats not where theyre looking.
And like the other person posted, and I said, greed will kill you. A single ship is a quick meal to fill your hunger right away, a convoy is a 3 course meal for breakfast lunch and dinner that you can leave in the fridge for a day or so. If when your on your approach to set up attack, if anything smells fishy, just bug out and reaquire later.
