Bad Idea?

Sounds good, but I would always run on silent mode except for the reloading time. This is going to happen during night in fair weather, right?
Your first attack should sink two big merchants with 2 torps each and demage onother with your stern torpedo (1 torp would be enough for a pyro ship). Than I would crash dive deeeeeeeep and run with the convoy to reload. If you're lucky they don't ping you and you may have a second salvo, but I woudn't put my money on it.
But this is mere theory
- well not really: I sunk a whale factory ship and a medium tanker that way in March 1944, but then again the escorts weren't too clever as I expected them to be, maybe because the weather was (thankfully) awful.
Now 7 warships and beeing pinged in 1944 would be tough.
Good luck!
