Once this is done, I dive and reload for the next attempt. If I get lucky, I can take out the same way the escort at the back of the convoy.
But that's just me.

I don't like 90°, I prefer moving to be in the convoy between an angle of 40° & 50°.
I always coming in front and in diagonal, under an angle of +/- 45°, and I let advance the convoy. That gives more chance to touch in the event of failures.
Then I fire front and behind then I plunges directly very deep maximum 2 kts while directing me to the opposite course of the convoy.
Yesterday I precisely made a success of the most beautiful blow into 29 mission. I was hidden in AM53 while waiting for end the 24 hours and a convoy arrived just above me !
In this position I fired 6 torpedoes, there were 6 impacts, 4 ships sunk + 2 ships damaged.
No reaction of the hunt !!(I don't understand why ?)
28.000 tons at the bottom in 18 minutes and 60 miles of the English coasts.
Maby I was lucky...
