Need some advice on successful convoy attack strategies if any.
So far my only plan is to get in front and stay submerged hoping there is not an escort at the front of the convoy. If there is, I got no plan at all.
Thanks for any tips.

Nice thing about the escorts getting radar is that you can discover convoys when you are at the surface, much better than with the sonar when you are submerged. When the RWR gives you a warning, first decide whether it is a vessel or an aircraft. You see this by the speed it is approaching. When you have decided it is a vessel, go for the transmitter directly. After a while you shall pick up more signals from other escorts. From the pattern that develops you can decide the course of the convoy and cross over in front of it. Then, go down and just let yourself be rolled over. Hals und Beinbruch!
