If you zoom out, on the map view, then a the convoy will be marked on your map. The convoy will be represented by a single large marker. Its position will not be super-accurate because of the map zoom, which is intentional, but if you put an X there and record the time and then shadow the convoy for a while (say 30km or whatever) then put another X on your map at the convoy's new location, then voila - you have the course and speed of the convoy! Now you can flank before submerging for an attack, and when you attack you will already have speed and AOB data and will only need to calculate the range to each target.
I like this method because it's how they did it IRL, and it's not complicated to do. You just put an X where the convoy is. How hard is that?
