Here is a hit at knocking out Escorts either coming directly bow on or stern on.
You can put an off set on the fish before firing. So if you wanted the fish to come off at 5 or ten degrees it will. If there is only one or two I will begin my attack on my target vessels. If they see me it normally is to late for them to stop my initial run normally on two ships from the bow. Now I play the German side mostly and use the G7es so it quite easy to take out escorts but if your running the american side simply get your brave on and leave the scope up.
Watch the escort as it is coming down on you from the stern. She sees your scopes and 90% of the time will run a zig zag pattern towards you know that her speed even with the turns will run you over soon enough.
Zig, zag, zig, zag, ... port, starboard, port, starboard. Put your offset 3 degrees in the opposite direction of travel and if you time her turn correctly she will turn into your fish not away. I normally do this within 800 yards and make sure the door is already open to get the fish out without added wait time.
