4 bearing method is still the only realistic method to use for those concerned about the realistic play. Pinging a convoy is like and open invitation to be killed. But the 4BM require time and patience.
Usually, when Im tracking a convoy I do it on a more personal way. Im just listening very careful and try to determine if the contact is closing or not and what type of sound is it.. a convoy, a single target, warships etc. Then I mark the bearing, surface and race in that direction. Every 15 minute I dive, stop engines and listen again and so on until I make a visual contact with the target. After that, things are a bit more easy.. its time to determine a precise bearing, speed and also plan an attack depending on the convoy size, escorts, weather etc.
