Slip between lead and corner DD's. Penetrate the convoy. Bring your boat in between two rows of merchants and turn 90 to their course. Turn your bow towards wichever column has the two best targets, and try to put yourself at about 600 meters from that row which normally leaves around 300 for the secondary target. Whatever is sailing parallel with your first target in the row behind you will be that target. Now just stop and wait... Shoot the two shot salvo and the stern tube as simultaneously as you can. For the stern shot, aim it at a ''sweet spot'' and hope for the best. You can always come back to finish it later if you kill it's props or boilers. Go to ahead standard when the torps hit (flank speed reduces the range between you and that secondary target too fast.. we're close enough like that), turn to the second target, zap it and crash dive. Allow for a target that's doing evasive maneuvers and consider widening the spread angle. Evade, shadow, reposition and repeat. Voilà.
