I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade here, I mean I love unescorted convoys, but I always like to attack completely concealed. I like to stay covert, because I think in real life the goal of the sub was to stay undetected, like messages from BdU say, "keep the impression of a mine hit".
Secondly, wouldn't a surface attack on a convoy(in real life) leave the convoy enough time to signal for help from a squad of fighters or destroyers (it is the british coast).

Lastly now I am wondering, in what situations did u-boot captains actually use the cannon??
