I like to get out in front of the Allied Convoy and sit still. During this time I use the ruler and plot tools to locate and plot most of the ships from the convoy. After the lead escort closes within 2000m, or round-a-bouts, I take a look at him normally not raising the scope but as low as possible. I try to torpedo the lead escort first, then I have several minutes at high speed to move in and make a un-molested attack on the convoy.
After getting in, if the convoy doesnt scatter too bad, I use the merchants as screens against the escorts to reload my torpedoes for another attack.
Caution though: This method means certain depth charge.
