Since they all go on the same course you ca change between them all and only adjust the range so as to hit them. But thats only if you are on a perpendicular course to the target (ie. exactly 90 off their course).

What if im not at 90 off their course, but i dont change my course after hitting the first ship of the convoy? The AOB (for instance 70 or 100) i have already calculated for one ship of the convoy (for my current course) is automatically updated for all the ships in the convoy(they share same course and speed, only the range must be reapllied) . Am I right?  |
Basically yes. However if you have the time to line up to attack a convoy and plan on hitting multiple targets usually its worth it to do the work to get to 90 degrees mainly because that is the best attack angle. It gives you the most flexibility in firing your torpedoes (ie 40 degrees port or starboard). But in a pinch you could do it from any angle. The only problem is your torpedoes might not hit the target at the right angle (glance off) or could possibly miss cause you're shooting at a narrower target.
Do what works but for me I think that taking the time with a juicy convoy to reach optimal firing position is worth it.
