Default convoy attack

I set up ahead of the convoy at silent running or on stop. After taking a quick look at the shipping line lanes (?), I decide what ships are my targets.
Usually my first torpedo fired (if day time attack) will be an electric slow one on mag', at a small mearchant at around 800m distance.
While this is nicely on its way, after a little wait I fire the stern tube, set to impact 3m depth at a target 400m. Immediatley, torpedoes 3 & 4 are for my main target. Hopefully a C3 or a tanker.
I know this is a bit sad but I use pencil & paper to note pistols, depths & in which tube order etc. In the middle of the convoy when the attack starts, to achieve impacts that are fairly close- time wise, takes a bit of planning. I realise i'm not good enough, without a little plan sorted.
With regards to evasion I find going deep helps alot.
