Here is an interesting 12 part documentary of the battle of the Atlantic for those that havent seen it.In particular,in part 8 it describes various methods on how convoys were attacked.I particularly liked the night surface attack from the rear,breaching the escort screen at high speed to get in among the convoy lanes.
This I will definitely be implementing in my game.For ages I have been pondering on the best approach for a convoy attack.For all the obvious danger with this method the night surface attack could actually be the safest,and most reliable method,so long as surprise is maintained and they don't spot you.
The video starts with part 2,I have no idea where part 1 is.

Good hunting.
