Yeah, it stynks.
Early in the war, I plan on 75% duds and always try for an oblique impact shot.

If the convoy has more than 1 escort, I sprint ahead of it and submerge - stationary. I send all officers and petty officers to the forward room and go to GQ. I launch spreads from maximum range, and when they pass over the top I set silent running, dive below the thermals, come back to launch depth and get rid of the rears, then go silent and creep away at max depth.
