That sounds nasty. I always try to get the convoys from the sides, send a salvo and get the hell outta there.

IT happened to me yeasterday when i attacked one convoy twice (the escort was a lone HMS Rodney) .
Long story short i was atleast 9km away and waited rodney to sink (it sank later and got the credit) when i surfaced to finish off a merchant who also was hit by a torp but i dint have any left and used by deck gun.
I fired 2-3 shots max before the BB began flashing and shell fell around me, luckly no hits.But still was scary enough and i have no intention of closing BB on the surface

from the side, or in some cases from the front,Depending on the DD and how many they are in the flock,but to back off is not good,
