Default Legit tactic?

Is this a legitimate tactic?



Normally when i find a convoy, i shoot the lead escort, then empty my fore and aft torpedos on targets, then dive to 25m and hide underneath one of the c2's or c3's until all my torpedos are reloaded.

The other escorts just lag behind and depth charge where i fired the torpedos from.

As soon as i am ready to fire again with all tubes i come out from my hiding place and let loose with everything i have got. And of course if i have any fish left, i go back under a c2 or c3.

Now my question is this: was this a real life tactic hiding underneath an enemy freighter for either safety or reloading?
