I'm playing the game without mods and extensions, but fully patched.
My strategy is always to calculate the interception route with at least 20 km ahead of the leading escort. Then I travel fast in time compression and stop 5 or 6 km away the calculated path of the convoy and dive under the termal layer. Now it's time to wait. Turn on the time compression (about 128x) and wait for the first sonar contact. Follow the contact in the sonar room and when they get in visual range I can hear the accelerations and bearing changes of the leading scort zaging. When all the merchants come visual contacts they zig-zag too because they know I'm there. It's annoying.
I only want to turn off their "always-detect-your-sound-at-very-large-distance-while-in-TC" sensor when I'm fast travelling.
