When you are ahead of the convoy, you expose your whole hull to the DD´s.

What I do is, I get slightly ahead of the convoy, periscope depth, and turn my bow to face the destroyers, so the sonar cant find me. Then when the convoy is closer, I hit ahead flank and rush to the middle of the convoy. DD´s never follow me there.
