Another reason good tracking is very useful is that often task forces and even convoys will change course and if you went in really quickly you may end up in what you think is the ideal position only to have the whole thing change course like going from heading S to heading E if you track well and get into a good spot you will see the change in course in time to react to it effectively.

The best benefit of good tracking/plotting to me is observing the escorts once you figure out their pattern on the radar scopes and your plotting method(varies greatly how this is done map contact on/of etc.) you can set yourself to be in the best spot when the escorts are least likely to find you.
