I kinda got the hang of it, just shadow the target, run ahead and alongside him, turn 90 degrees, dive to periscope depth and run submerged to meet him at a range of 800-1000 meters and an AOB of 90° (hopefully ) and commence the attack. The whole attack set up only by eye on the surface not using the map.

I've played about with it for a while now and it completely changes the game for me. I've played SH3 with real-time contacts for 4 years now and this makes every encounter more tense and realistic IMO. Definitely try it if you haven't already

Be prepared to rip your hair out though
Sounds fun, but I'm not sure I'd call it more realistic. Plotting a convoys positions, course, etc. on a map was done during any shadowing of such.
