Yes and no. Basically you'll have to work a bit harder to determine the indivdual lines, but all the info you need to do that can be obtained from a combination of your map contact updates and the use of your periscope and/or hydrophones.

BTW, sensors in SH3 are obscured when a ship is directly between you and another ship, but AFAIK there is no generalised degradation of hydrophone sensors in the area around/inside a convoy.
