I know I risk being burned at the stake, but personally I have always felt that the difficulty of approaching a convoy submerged is overdone.

From what I can tell:

(1) You cannot do much maneuvering to get into position. You must simply be in position before they get to you. You have to stay slow and very quiet.

(2) If you allow contacts to placed on the map, then you can get a decent picture on the map despite that you personally cannot see squat with the scope. In such a situation it seems that you are much safer from detection than when you can see well. Use the map SA to orient yourself so that when you finally really expose that scope, you are taking the shot.
