When Do You Attack a DD?

Playing my career, it is September 1942 and I'm based in Austrailia patrolling the Solomons. Lots of activity nightly, high speed Tokyo Express type runs. But, almost always made up exclusively of DDs, 4 to 8 in a column running high speed. Now, I'm anxious for some action, but my head says these are low-percentage shots at shallow, fast moving targets with lots of friends who can hurt you and you gain only 1,000 tons and a DD on your scorecard.

So I ask, do most of you pass on these targets as well, or do you fire into the line and take out 1 or 2 and then trust you can evade or nab another?
