It will be as useful as other new units. Every ship in the campaign needs to be scripted in (except maybe for DDs spawned on alert) including convoys. The wolfpack subs can be scripted in ambush on a patrol route constantly crossing a convoy route and the player can be called via radio to joint the wolfpack.

The AI subs are subject to the collision avoidance routine. When they get inside the convoy, they may sink most of it while trying to avoid any collision because the subs start to turn quite early.
