Constant helming is constant turning off a base course. It is much harder to determine a base course or hit a ship that is constant helming. Ships in sh4 constant helm all the time when they spot you.
Actually it is not as hard as one would think. If you had already figured out the solution (i.e. base course and speed) prior to the constant helming it is only a matter of determining the new speed along the base course as a result of the turning slowing the convoy down. In a pinch you can usually take off a couple of knots. So if you are already in a good position, it is just a matter of waiting for the ships to come too you along the same base course. Setting the torps on magnetic detonation helps a little bit too
