You read a lot of Rambos telling your that you should be sinking all the escorts, then take the convoy at your leisure. In TMO, that is a sure prescription to be out of torpedoes with no sinkings to your credit. Even if you succeed DDs don't count for any tonnage since they don't weigh anything.
But in TMO, even a down the throat at full throttle with a stern shot is only a 50/50 proposition. Shooting escorts is a great way to waste torpedoes.
So I waste escorts by sinking all the merchies and watch them wander away like little puppy dogs that lost their bones.
