Seriously, think about this for a minute. Lets say merchants are bind to the area directly behind them.In TM, given the map contacts mod, you woudlnt know this. Warships however are not blind.
So youd have to trail directly behind the convoy, keeping profile on just the warships. Any move out of the aft quater makes you much more visible. So its easier, but not with impunity. Plus it requires some manuvering on your part.
Nowfor the sake of argument, lets say your chasing 1 unescorted merchant.
If he knows your there, he zig zags, so he can shoot back becuase his movemnt places you out of the blind area repeatidly. Plus, due to NSM, you can plug him all day from the rear, but if the shots arent below the waterline, it does nothing.
