I guess you have been extremly unlucky with the convoy escorts.I play gwx3.0 with OLCgold and in '39 is quite easy to get close to convoys with decks awash, even i manage to get 2 attack for one night. I too have been "lucky" enough to get early in war to some quite good DD crews witch bombed me for more than hour.

I use simple tactic (mentioned above) just get ahead of convoy and creep forward and keep your course 90 degrees of theirs.If there arent side escorst or for some reason i see fit to use surface attack i dont hasitate(spl?) Since it gives you much more speed than underwater creeping and you dont have to worry about asdic(active sonar).However when i get close enough to attack i usualy get to PD for the actual attack.

I would also suggest you make ssure when you are depthcharged to have 20-30 meters clearens from then sea floor since DC explode when hit the sea floor and even if they miss you you can get hurt just by being close to the bottom.
