U-boats sank very few escorts in RL. It was generally frowned on.

Going for the escorts first would have been an interesting what-if for Doenitz and the Kriegsmarine tho. Early in the war at least the British were severely short on escorts. Kill enough of them and the convoy system is in deep trouble-THEN you can go hard after the (mostly) unescorted convoys.
