Yup. All those factors are represented in SH3. And it's a good idea to practice such tactics when the need calls for it.
I find the being close to the surface / harder to find rule to be a huge factor.
Though actually I'm not 100% about being harder for escorts to detect you if you are in tight with a convoy. I assume this is so in the game, just don't know it for a fact.
edit: laughed at seeing GoldenRivet's take is different from mine. Figured I'd say I don't claim to be an expert Freiwillige. And tend to defer to others here on such matters. Just giving my 2 cents. : /
