This is my 1st campaign and only at 28% realism, so I'm far from a pro,
but at least until 1944 I have done like you do.
I put myself right in front, with my bow towards the convoy.
Silent running at 0 kts, 25 meters, scope+snorkel down,
and let the leading DD pass me, and then I get in position for the kill(s).
This has worked everytime until '44.

After Aprill '44 you get to buy the XXI which runs at 17 kts submerged,
so with that much speed I guess you can attack from any angle.

But I have no mods installed, so I guess that could be the difference.
