When in the throws of conducting a patrol (i.e. in an asigned grid) and alerted to reachable contacts, how should I prioritise?

If I understand how it was done in WWII right, BdU would radio contacts, reported to them, to the nearest boats to those locations. It was up to the captains to decide if they could make an intercept or not.
How I play, I treat all contacts (popup as well as radio messages) as coming from BdU, unless otherwise addressed in a contact radio message, so it is not a violation of orders to go after it. I check to see how far away the reported contact is, and if it is closing or going away. If I can not intercept it within 12 hours, I do not go after it (and replay the scene from Das Boot where the captain figures out he can't reach a reported convoy).
