Well I was going to take your advise and go for the closest merchant. As I was slowly rising from about 250 ft to PD, one of the destroyers changed course and cut between me and the ship I was going to shoot. When I raised the scope he was about 900 yards away and cutting across my bow. I took the shot at him and when it hit he exploded in flames but instead of continuing on course he turned right for me again blocking my shot.
I was able to get the other bow shot off hitting the lead ship and putting it on a severe list to starboard. I was able to dive down almost under the ship and come up on the other side to finish off with a stern shot.
It's a good thing I hit that other destroyer because the other one hounded me for hours.
One strange thing is that the enemy will leave the rest of the convoy unprotected and go after you while while the other ships sail off. I was lucky as this convoy only had two escorts guarding it.
