Position yourself in front of the convoy off towards a front corner so the lead escort won't hear you. Be on silent running and at 1kt. Once the lead escort is well past you, move towards the middle of the convoy and pick out several targets that you can shoot at in rapid succession with all your tubes. The reason for that is that once the first torpedo hits, the convoy will start to zigzag. shoot at the furthest away target first, then work back towards the closest target. That way hopefully your torpedoes will all hit at about the same time, giving the convoy little to no time to zigzag to spoil your shots. Once all tubes are empty, go deep fast, then go back to 1kt, chances are they won't find you. If the convoy is still within hydrophone range when you start deck gunning cripples, watch out, the rear escort/escorts will turn back to investigate.
