Got to the point that I could take apart entire convoys by doing the following:

1. Sink the destroyers using torpedoes from distance and repeated attack runs. Also sink any transports with deck guns using torpedoes.

2. Sink the corvettes by approaching underwater from behind. Once within ~ 1 km surface and open fire with the deck gun. You will be able to sink it before it can turn enough to return fire. You may take a hit or two but you can make multiple attack runs and repair in between.

3. Finish the rest of the convoy using deck guns and/or AA gun at your convenience.

This strategy was done early war, 1939/40 and I've not played in ~ a year. I'm curious if improvements have been made to the sim/AI since then.
