I just wiped out two troop transports (18kton + 9kton) that were escordted by 4 DDs. Granted I had the DDs on me for half of forever and then some but managed to get away.
As a general rule, I approach the convoy from about 10km, ~30AoB, running on a perpendicular course. This allows me to get into a firing position at a little over 1500m for most convoys. I typically adjust speed so as to get into position just as the lead DD passes by.
If I have time to gather enough data (rough seas at night with jsut enough light for ID) then I can target as many as 5 ships and light them up at approx the same time. Problem is I have to pray for one shot kills.
