It's an unnecessary cat & mouse game that Uncle Donitz wouldn't approve of, and overall a bad habit and waste of time.

I found a massive convoy last run and ended up taking out 3 escorts just because. Afterwards, I felt shame for having wasted 3 torps on such small vessels, while watching defenseless merchants sail away after I was out of eels. I must stop this behavior lol.
I had a very long spell of good weather in my last patrol with calm seas and could easily have taken out the escorts at distance with magnetics and bagged several smaller merchants and freighters with the deck gun.

However, I resisted

I couldn't resist taking out the Southampton though. Well.......if capital ships insist on sailing in the midst of a convoy then they'll get what they're asking for
