Sound idea. Other thing that worked for me a couple of times is to manouvre and go from behind, never, never approach from one side or front as you will almost certainly collide with a ship with dire consequences to boat.

When you are aft the convoy dive and look for DDs (if there is any), trace a course that evade them, surface and with a speed just a little above convoy´s head for the merchants, going from aft the risk of collision is minimized. The ships are packed so sooner or later you will see the stern of one or more. Then is up to you . Evidently it will be a difficult shot, but it´s feasible.
