to paraphrase sun tzu he who awaits his enemy at ease will be victorious

get into position ahead of the convoy and wait for them to come to you.
as they come into firing range the timing takes care of itself. however
you may want your first target or first two to go by your firing point
a little before opening fire. whether a perpendiclar or obtuse attack.

a little more on timing in attacks though. In order to maximize
the effect of surprise, it is a good idea when shooting mulitple
targets to shoot them in sequence all at once from furthest
away to nearest in that order. the idea being after a bit of
practice to figure out timing and ranges to have all your torpedos
strike as close to simultaneously as possible. by this method
target ships have less possiblility of evasion if all are hit simultaneously
and escorts cant close you while your trying still to shoot your
last three fish. by this method you should already be started your
evasion maneuvers prior to the escort or targets being aware
of your presence.

Good Hunting
