Setting up for convoys?

Thanks for your comments

Manual targeting is both a bitch and a very rewarding experience, once you start using it you will realize that half the game lies in it and you'll never go back. Personally I lie in ambush and try to get the best target. And if in the confusion another presents itself on my way out, one more with the aft tubes. If there is another I MUST have, I will stalk the convoy again.

As for escorts, yes go deep and keep a low profile (cross section) and crawl your way out to open sea. Do not take evasive action unless you believe that charges are bieng dropped or will be dropped directly on your position. As long as you remain quiet the escorts will rush your last known position and try to "guess" your location.
