You have to find a convoy and let your WO recognize three contacts to enable a contact report sent to BdU.

You may get the answer to shadow the convoy until a wolfpack is assembled.

You have to send regular contact reports - convoy speed and heading. Read the instructions how to do it.

The problem may be the weather, as is may be difficult to get your WO to repeatedly find three contacts of the convoy while staying undetected. Some ingame bug is helpful here.

After a few hours of shadowing, BdU gives you a go - and you proceed into a favourable attack position.

This happened: it was around midnight and while manouvering on the surface into the starboard forward convoy sector hell broke lose.

The leading destroyer was hit by a torpedo and sunk. The outward starboard frontline freighter was hit by a torpedo - but I didn't fire a single torpedo.

The second destroyer - following the convoy - was damaged and burning, but was firing at some unseen target to my backboard area.

I switched to F12 and hovered to this area to find a submerged Type VII, stationary and heading into the convoy.

I have no idea how this all is done - but you should give it a try yourself. The impression of a wolfpack attack is formidable and there are other uboats around attacking the convoy and successfully sinking ships.
