The only significant difference between them is max speed.

There won't be any difference for slow convoys. For fast convoys, it depends on what unit number in the convoy they have, i.e. whether they are scripted-in in the front, mid or end of convoy.

For front, mid-convoy when 3D-rendered the subs will not be able to keep-up with the convoy speed, other ships will have to avoid collision (collision avoidance routine works for subs at the periscope depth too). This will produce disorder in the convoy, simulating the effect of attacking U-boat inside the convoy, not to mention the actual firing by the U-boat as soon as a ship is in front of the U-boat.

If U-boats are scripted-in at the end of the fast convoy, they will be gradually left behind after 3D-rendering but I am sure they will have time to fire and probably think some ships. They will definitly attract escorts in any way.
