It is also possible that they just saw your periscope.

Unfortunately, other ships in the convoy don't seem to react then when you hit one - yesterday, everybody in the huge 10-12 ship convoy just sort of kept plodding along while I picked them off one after the other. 
I know there's a mod for better escorts, I wish there was a mod for smarter merchant AI - reacting even better to torpedo wakes but especially to explosions.

Once I hit merchant by torpedo, all merchats start zigzags like allways but when I surfaced in center of convoy and started shooting to him by deckgun there was no reaction of 3 escort ships.

They was to far to see me probably - one in front, one far to right and one far far behind on the left probably searching me after torpedo hit. My deckgun is very weak and have 30+ seconds reload time because I use RFB 1.23
I sink this ship after long time of bombarding, submerged and run away without any reaction of escort
