I ignore convoys in fog now. Wasted far too many eels on wounded ships I could never find again to finish off. Got a good screenshot on the pc at home of an escort that nearly collided with me.
I had set up an intercept from a contact report and was cruising on the surface at 5 knots in heavy fog. No reports from my bridge crew I just happened to hit the F4 key to have a look and theres this destroyer about 50m off my port beam on an opposite course, and I truly mean 50m! Never been so close to another ship before. He saw me cos soon as I dived he had already altered course but I think I was too close to shell. No dc's but scared the crap outta me!
