I do it like the real life Kaleuns did,
If I have the chance to stay surfaced and/or I detect the target from its side or stern, I steer paralell course and overtake him, getting his speed and course in the process by matching bearing and speed with the target
If I meet the enemy from a 45º AOB at most, I approach with dog leg curve and get the speed by using the fixed wire method
If I make a night surface attack or simply suddenly meet the enemy in any conditions, I estimate his speed by the bow wake and his course by eyeballing his AOB, and get close to make all possible errors count less.
