I cannot surface in the middle of a convoy. I'll get blown away with every merchant that has guns; plus the DD and DE.
So, half the time I have to take out Flower Corvettes and Armed Trawlers from periscope depth.
In the average convoy now-a-days, I find at least 5 - 6 warships and it's almost impossible to avoid them all and I get blown to bits. So, I take out the DDs and DE when necessary.
Besides, I doubt an Impact torpedo set at 1 metre depth would take out a Flower when it's a bow shot.
What else am I supposed to do? I get rid of the nusance DE or DD that are coming at me, then I can attack the convoy, picking on the juicy targets like tankers and Troop Transports. I don't bother with other warships that aren't coming my way.
