I was wondering if you would your approach change if the ship/convoy was escorted?
Are you able to also give an example of what to do after you fired on an escorted convoy, ie how to evade detection after firing.
Thanks again

Intercepting a convoy is even easier, since you'll generaly receive better radio messages about their whereabouts (you'll get their exact speed, for example).
However, I don't really put that much effort into intercepting convoys, since I prefer to hunt stray merchants... the main reason for this is to avoid escorts. It seems that most of the times (lets say 9 out of 10) one can evade the enemy escorts quite easily, and then the next time it suddenly turns fatal

... rarely is it worth the risk.
As to tips into how to evade and escape enemy escorts: Again, my advice is "Why evade when you can avoid?" attack the unprotected, you'll live longer
