I always try to report contacts, although for some reason the report doesn't always "work", nothing being transmitted, even if I have escorts and multiple cargoes in sight.
When I managed, especially in the North Sea, I usually see condors, Ju88's and Stuka's come to do some dirty work, usually 4 of them. Also sometimes some destroyers or even a bigger ship, but have witnessed this only once.
In the North Sea, usually within the hour after transmitting, help will appear.
Later in the war, I don't risk it, because HF/DF immediately tells all escorts where I am. Realistic, but deadly and ruining my chances of surprising those fat cargoes and tankers.
