Yeah, it makes bringing down a merchant a lot more dangerous... If you dare surface alongside, make sure you're johnny on the spot with the deck gun and plink your first shot right into that damned deck gun (usually on the fo'c'sle, occasionally one also on the after deck)...
Alternately, surface off the ship's stern and start pounding her with rounds (hit the smoke stack right off so you slow her down)...in either case, forewarned is forearmed...after mid 1940, approach any lone merchant with care and scope her out before rushing in!
