Only BDU has the authority to direct U-boats at sea. What would be cool is
if U-boats in your area report to BDU you can mark their location on your map and have an idea where they are. Say within 400 miles. Then when a convoy is sighted (By them or you) BDU gives all boats orders to converge and attack.
All boats in the area give an estimated arrival time and when they show up BDU reports that to you as well as when to commence the attack.
The reason Wolfpacks are so important is because when another sub attacks and is driven under it pulls some of the escorts away from that area, leaving a big hole for other U-boats to drive thru. With an entire pack attacking it becomes lambs to the slaughter as it was historically.
Aces of the deep (1994 Sierra games) got this and almost every other detail of the U-boat war right
