Checking if your interception course is right

And how do you work the stealth factor?
assuming day time, with good visibility, you can't just get into a perfect intercept, without being spotted. How far away can you remain without alerting the convoy escorts? how can you add that distance into the calculations?

I think I like the idea of plotting an intercept based on a slow speed (like convoy is doing 8 knots, so plot an intercept at 10 knots, but then run at flank speed to arrive much earlier), this way I am relatively far away until I reach intercept, then periscope depth for final adjustments... thoughts?
