I think the most important thing is taking your time, determining the convoy course, the analyzing the escort patrol pattern in relationship to the convoy.

This will tell you where and when the gaps in the convoy will appear.

I try to start my attack just as the lead escort starts the leg of its seach out in front of the convoy. It is then moving out ahead of the convoy, and I am approaching from the right or left flank at high speed.
