Where are the ships?

Plot the convoy's path on the map and get in front of it, well in front, you want to be able to set yourself up running silent if needs be, so a good starting point is crucial.

With the convoy heading towards you position yourself to one side of it, directly in front of the escort on that side, but pointing your boat inwards towards the center-line' of the convoys route, and deep, very deep. Once the lead escort has passed to the side, move your boat to the center-line and come up to torpedo depth as quickly but as quietly as possible.

You are now either in the mix, or if the convoy is slow enough, in the perfect position to start firing at the furthest ship you want to take down, working your way towards yourself in the targets. You can get some nice screenshots of two or more ships being hit at the same time if you get this part right

Fire those torpedoes, then dive like nuts, and head out of the back of the convoy, wiggling at 5-10 degree (ruder angle) turns.

Go out to the side, track the convoy, go as fast as possible to get another setup position and repeat.
