This changes with the weather and your speed
Just keep them on the horizion 8 to 12 km and you should be ok (your profile is very small so they wont see you. Beware that convoy escorts also have a small profile). You can go a lot further and should still be able to get to a good attacking point.
If you are going out of sight with them - you can dip under every now and then to ensure they have not changed course.


If you have already attacked this convoy and there are wounded ships - do not let them get more that 25 to 30km away or the auto repair bug will fix their damage.
