How do you guys attack a convoy?

I'm just curious on some of the methods you guys use to attack a convoy. I made a mistake in my approach to a convoy, clearly the number of escorts forming ring around the convoy was one of the contributing factors.

What I had done was raced ahead of the convoy then swung west to come in at the convoy from the side but was spotted by the escorts.

How do you guys do it?

Would it be best to get ahead of the convoy and then sit right in their path, turn to head into the convoy from the very front, sitting rigged for silent running at periscope depth and then attack when you're past the escorts and among the convoy??

Means you'd have to rely on magnetic detonators alot more as getting perfect angles will be alot harder. Approchaing from ahead and at the side seems to be crappy now with the number of escorts in this convoy I encountered, and its only March 1941
