Don't lie waiting a convoy, it might change its course before coming to you. Go towards it !

The same thing when targeting a ship: even if she is coming towards you, always try to close distance, things that now are favourable might change in few minutes. The ship can alter course, etc.

(This is a thing I learnt from the U-Boot commander's manual).
I've never had that happen to me in the game. I once had a single individual ship hit a waypoint and turn, screwing up a perfect setup, but I've never had a convoy do that (although I suppose it is possible, though it has to be rare).
