Here's a tactic I use when attacking large convoys.
1. Sub's position relative to the convoy does not matter. Just as long as you can get close fast. 2. Submerge to at least 100-200 feet going at ahead flank. Every escort will come for you. 3. Here's trhe tricky part- get under a merchant and try and stay there. The escorts cannot get close to you and may even lose your signal. Make a check for closest warship using sonar. 4. When coast is clear slip from, under merchie and let her move away enough for you to use your torps ( a minimum of 500 feet). Then get under another ship. Rinse and repeat. With this method I sank 3 large composite freighters and 1 large modern tanker using a S-18 boat.
