In fact Wolf Packs really for the most part weren't much like packs. They were just a bunch of U-boats attacking the same convoy. They had little to no communication between themselves so there was really no unified strategy for attack. If they had such a thing the packs might have been muchmore successful. Imagine attacking on one flank to draw away the escorts and having 5 others attacking the other flank. But this wasn't possible given the way captains tended operate plus the use of their radios became a homing beacon for escorts given their new "HuffDuff" trackers.
