On the same topic tho, can't the Allies pinpoint your sub location by intercepting your radio transmissions, listening to the "huff duff", is it not taken into account in the game mechanics ?

Some say yes, some say no. I'm in the no camp. I.e., numerous times I have sent literally a dozen or more reports whle shadowing a convoy with no affect on escort behavior. In real life it was a concern for sure. Not so much in the game. For that matter, the player will send many more reports to assemble a wolfpack in the game than was actually done in reality.
There is a section for it in the game files but the game has many unimplemented/missing features. There is also an outstanding mod by LGN1 that definately makes it so but it's a bit for "advanced" users of the game.
