Strategy on attacking convoys

[GT182]

Always try to have a convoy coming head on at you if you can. Head right in amongst them all and let loose. Inside the convoy protects you as the escorts have a tough time picking you up with all the mayhem going on. Sounds of explosions, sinking ships, and all the rest changing course masks your location to a degree.

And better yet....If you can get near a ship that's sinking very slowly, stay put as it's great cover. Escorts won't come close enough to depth charge you and you can pick them off with your torpedos. If you're lucky enough to sink all the escorts and have a good idea the remaining cargo ship are unarmed [early war], you can chalk up even more tonnage with your deckgun once you run out of torpedos. And you can also chase them down if you have to.
