Certainly not engaging U-Boats at this point.

I did not think so either, well live (thankfully) and learn. Maybe depends on whether or not there are british ships in the convoy. If it is a completely neutral convoy, maybe they won't attack/defend the convoy.

I've read other posts on this type of situation, and all the experts seem to agree that it shouldn't happen. But it does.
I foolishly did the same thing with 2 "neutral" US flagged merchants encountered.
They fired on us. No damage done to anything but my temper.
That was in my early days of playing. Some time after that I read the Uboat Commanders Handbook, which clearly stated that I should have dived and remained undetected.
At least we lived to learn.
