Pretty tough if your surfaced and your slugging it out point blank but if you are at periscope depth you just put a couple fish into them and they sink. But you need to set the depth of your torpedo's to get them below the waterline since Destroyers sit a bit higher in the water than say a Cruiser or Battleship and a Carrier sits deeper than a Battleship due to the weight of ammo fuel and planes.

Have you encountered anything like a cruiser or above and engaged?

Got my Schnellboot's in today (both of them) took only 2 days. Too bad you didn't do a tutorial on how to hollow out the torpedo tubes.
