It sounds as though visually aquiring targets is way too dangerous.
Another option is to stay ahead of the convoy/task force and shadow and see if the weather improves. If it does, you should be in pretty good position to launch an attack. If not, the blind attack is still an option.
The opportunity sounds just too juicy to pass up.
Good luck.

Shadowing them may be the best bet, though this squall has gone on for over a day already. It's one of the nastiest storms I have been in in 11 patrols. I can't even use the deck gun (not that I would even try in this situation).
In good weather, I feel I could easily get at least 3-4 ships before the escorts got all over me.
The other problem I have is, once these guys get on me, I am gonna have a rough time evading them. I think I only have about 200-250 feet to play with. I doubt I even have a thermal layer to hide under.
