Really? It's just as easy to shadow the convoy via hydrophone with a rough course estimate. And, you can't really attack in bad weather anyway so there's no need to pull in exact information about target position. I don't know of one reason that you _have_ to use radar. I guess, if you are in good weather, looking for a single merchant contact, you might as well throw on the radar to help hasten visual contact.
Now wait - I guess, if you have 'Update Map Contacts' on, then a radar contact gives you exact course information for your target. This is something that the hydrophone doesn't do. As far as I remember, without update map contacts, you just get bearing/range info from radar. So - I guess the utility of radar may depend on your difficulty settings.
