In Sh4 i've certainly found what schultz claims to be true, but in GWX, i haven't.

I pay attention to the following factors

sea state
moonlight
my bow wave (ie speed)
Decks awash in calmer sea states.

And then i try to time my approach so that i don't get too close to an escort

If its pitch black i can get very close, certailny within 2 kms. Man I even once rammed an escort by accident with neither of us seeing the other (yes i was on the surface!)
