It is the absolute spirit of the u-boat. It was what they were designed for!

I'm gonna give another try then... because I wasn't impressed to say the least (started a career in 1941 to test).

Precisely, I did shadow the convoy. Constantly adjusting course, speed, and distance while keeping the deck awash for approximately 10 hours.
I was ordered by BdU to shadow and give hourly update. The next thing I know
they attack without any notice in broad daylight.
I suddenly saw a tanker exploding at the horizon but if I joined the escorts would have quickly spotted me in such a beautiful day (2m/s, no fog, around 8 in the morning).
By the time I got into position and waiting for the convoy to stop evading manoeuvres, all the escorts had disappeared!! (there were 5 with at least 2 destroyers)
Of course it was like shooting fish in a barrel, I sank the whole convoy, but it felt kinda ''unnatural''. No quite realistic to say the least.
I felt like SH3 was just not made for the wolfpack strategy, but I'm gonna give another try.
