I always check the weather conditions. If they are too good (low waves, great visibility) I attack submerged.
Otherwise I check for the escorts, if I can see an opening. Up until 12/41 I always find my spot an go for the outer lanes.
If you want to go for the center lanes, then you better forget about it on the surface. They have to many eagle-eyes on the lookouts .
