I think the problem you're having is that the convoy changes direction. It is quite common and you can spend a fair amount of time (both real and game time) in trying to intercept only to face the open ocean. Do you use the technique mentioned in 'The Hunt'? It's a very good and exact way of plotting intercept courses. My suggestion would be to go to periscope depth once you're in position and use the hydrophones to see if the convoy is close by. If not it changed direction and you've lost it. Don't worry about it we all lost more than we found. If you need more info let me know
