You mean intercepting radio reports and hydrophone contacts? There are 2 awesome threads on the SH3 forum that deal with those, just do a proper search. Once you get into visual range, my documentation explains how to make a proper attack.

Here's what I use to intercept contacts:

As for hydrophone attacks, I never do them. The explained techniques rely on getting a very accurate bearing of a contact outside visual range, which i think was impossible in that era. What I usually do is just stop the boat and wait to see in which direction the enemy is going. I then surface and go to flank speed, leading it by 30 degrees or so. After a few minutes I dive again and check. Rinse and repeat. I usually end up either ahead of the target or behind it slightly.
