If you run into a convoy situation with limited escorts, by all means, take out the destroyers and than have at the merchants at your leisure! I tried that tonight, but unfortunately didn't look close enough. There was a trailing escort I didn't see till I'd begun my attack and one of the ships in the middle was a Southampton Cruiser! Bad time to try a surface attack! hehe
