My most used tactic in attacking convoy was to set myself in front of the convoy with the convoys course, silent running, then let myself drop into the convoy by two ways: 1. Manouver out the escort(s) in front if possible on periscope depht or 2. dive deep and come up as soon as the escort run over.
Then, in the convoy I try to get between two lines, looking out for the fat ones, and then take them out by in german called "rechtwinkelschuss", 90° shot. Thats a good way, just let the ships pass by slowly to your left and right, a make your torps go.
This tactic works in the earlier years of war. By progress of war, the better and more escorts make the manouvering near and inside the convoy very dangerous.
