Assuming Ubi pay any attention to historical details such as this. When you followed them, did they do anything interesting?

Probably included for immersion then, rather than function.

Nor did U-boats in Wolfpacks travel that close together.

But then, you wouldn't have posted this if they were scripted a more accurate 20mi apart.

Yes, shelled one U-Class, the cheeky git dived and fired two topredoes at me. He was well off in his aim, thankfully.

I shadowed a German merchant (Large Steamer) through the English Canal in Dec 1939. I got caught up sinking a few lonely British ships along the way and he steamed ahead.

A day or so later I notice a gray 'Unit Destroyed' icon on my map ahead of me. Fly over with my external camera and sure enough, there on the bottom of the sea was my English Channel German merchant friend. Crew still walking around wondering what happened! Peeking up out of the sea I saw a Carrier Task Force sailing away. Shame I wasn't on the 'kill the carrier' mission yet.
