IF there are too many escorts/Carriers (later years) I make only one attack and then leave the convoy alone - You've already woken them up so why tempt fate the next day.
Yup. Late war, especially in calm weather, you had best shoot from 5+ km away with pattern running torpedoes and dive deep as soon as you shoot. If they pin you down with multiple escorts late war you're screwed. Especially with hedgehogs.

Unless you have homing torpedoes. Then it's an escort turkey shoot.
