I haven't had any problems. Usually the target is not escorted. In those cases where the target is, the destroyers can usually figure out where you are shooting from anyway. I'm almost always broadside to the target. Those extra seconds that it takes the torpedo to hit its target let me get deeper. I usually locate the target by hydrophone, go scope up, click lock, dive, and fire. I am already on my way down before the second torpedo leaves the tube.

I use two torpedo salvos on ships in convoy and only target the biggest ships. I use the slowest speed for convoys. On ships traveling alone, I can usually use a higher speed, especially if I'm unsure about the ship's speed.
