Hello I have a question about what to do when one spot a convoy or a ship that is far away and heading away from you i.e. giving you an AoB between 160 Port and 160 Starboard. If you dive straight away you are gonna miss them cos they are quicker than an old U-Boat submerged. SO I thought maybe it's the case to get a bit nearer on the surface and then dive.... but when exactly it's better to do so to avoid detection? Or is it just better to forget to attack a convoy with these hadings/courses?
Thanks for your help!
