After you make three contact report for the same convoy, attack the convoy ALONE. It will make you surely have a 20000-35000 tons kill per convoy for this task.
Don't hope the wolfpack assist if you have the stock (not modified) AI, because as U have known, the stock AI are bloke enough to make you insane.
I suggest you to save before making the first contact report (as soon as you make the first contact), not before you attack the convoy at first time

Thanks for this I had read up on it and I started to shadow the convoys but would only make one contact report so that's probably another issue there there, I'm gonna try and put it more then one maybe it bumps up their priorities or something. I hate getting massive amounts of tonnage but it not meaning anything towards the progress of my campaign.
