Very true, I have tried to find their approach tactics during 1943-1944, with allied radar detection being in place and widespread. Do you know if they changed their surface approach or was it still the same as early war?

I know of the V-Tafel but I dont know if it was really used. https://www.subsim.com/radioroom//showthread.php?t=218641

Basic tactics were the same as far as I know; not much able to change there anyway. But in general they fired from much further distances. If at all.
With a little luck, an attacking boat had an escort(s) without radar, tied up with some other boat, etc.
The U-Boat Commander's Handbook referenced here a lot was wrote in 1943, so that has some good info. of that time period.
