The main idea behind the wolfpack creation/operation was getting rid of escorts which would go after one U-boat while other U-boats would attack unprotected convoy.
Extending CB's idea, one can have a wolfpack in the RND layer using convoy's waypoints in reverse order so that the wolfpack starts in Europe and moves towards the convoy until they meet each other half way or so. A player can be informed by means of some message about the start of the wolfpack operation and can keep an eye on the wolpack route due to contact reports. If the player decides to joint the wolfpack on its way to the convoy, he would not see wolfpack's subs because they are realisticaly submerged during daytime and not much can be seen at night anyway.
