But i've heared about skippers attacking convoys while moving, estimating AoB just by eyeball, shadowing a convoy on visual range EVEN DURING DAYLIGHT...
Both americans and specially germans did that easily prior to escorts getting radar. The problem in the game is that your visibility is limited to some 20 kilometres, and that isn't always enough to do it as in real life: Keep the enemy under the horizon while only seeing the tips of their masts, never getting closer.

Nevertheless, if you want to read about real life tactics go here:

US submarines (Post-war but reflects war tactics): http://www.hnsa.org/doc/attack/index.htm
