Avoid Visual detection

BenG,
Dont forget to go to 7m. This will lower your profile making it harder for them to see you. Also, stay as far as you possibly can from the ships. It will reduce your opportunities to raise the time compression and save you time, but if you do this correctly, it's well worth the wait.
But be advised, that by travelling at 7m, you boat can only make about 13knots in great weather. Also, your water plume may give your position away.
Just stay so far away that you can barely make out the ships on the horizon, in this case, the escort, and you should do fine.
If youre in horrible weather, then you have to plot the convoys course using hydrophone, and you shouldnt have to worry about being seen.
Also, if the weather is so bad that you cant see anything, I suggest going to 7m anyway. This will give you the precious seconds that your crew will spot a ship before it spots you. You can do this with TC cranked up, too.
