Chasing a crippled ship...

I've tried everything suggested, but: There are four destroyers that have more or less an idea of where I am; I have no radar; It's dawn and there are aircraft in the area. Any other suggestions, I'm getting tired of following the merchant and getting blown up every time, submerged or in the surface. Also, I try using the torpedoes I still have, but even though I get a very accurate solution thy never hit... Not even one!!!

Well, given that situation I only see two real choices: you can either move away submerged and be content to shadow them until nightfall when you can safely run on the surface again, or give up on the target. With the escorts both having an idea where you are and staying around the target, you can't engage directly without extreme risk. The planes will prevent you from using the surface to go around and get in front of them again. If the convoy is still running slow, you can remain submerged and keep up with or even pass them sometimes, but you'll have to evade those DDs first.
