Absolutely valid point, Scott. For the Ausdampfverfahren in particular, as that requires a steady target course and speed over time to establish a collision course. These methods are really best suited against loner merchants that infrequently zig while you are undetected, however Auswanderungsverfahren could be suitable for convoys as the procedure is done immediately prior to firing. That said, hopefully one would already have convoy speed from the overhaul maneuver or contact reports!
