How to attack convoy's

Hey all...

I'm playing this game roughly 2.5 months now, and GWX prolly 1.5 month. I'm in my 1st serious career. It's now mid 1940, I haven't come acros that many convoy's yet the ones I did come across where from contact reports and I was able to approach them from the front. Mostly guarded by 2 V & W plus 1 smaller ship. I could down 1 or 2 merchants and useally the excorts never found me.

As I'm still learning I'm not playing DiD. I'm SW of Spain CG79 and I found me a nice convoy. It's on my Port side and only ship I can see is a Black Swan. I took some basic info I now have a rough course, W turning to SW. Therefore I need to make the outer turn. But somehow I can't manage to get past the BS..It killed me 3 times now. A real bugger.

So my question: How would you approach this convoy? And get at least 1 merchant.
