"Breaking in" a convoy?

I think the biggest issue is the convoys themselves.

Does SHIII accurately protray them at the correct distances as they would be in RL?

I watched several vids (youtube) of old german propaganda films of the BDU and some shots show the convoy ships more spread out than what you see in SHIII.

Maybe someone can chime in on this since I havent really googled the info right off.

I usually run at PD when I slip into the convoy. I shot all my eels and then drop down deep. I run 90° away from the convoys course and when far enough away, surface, reload the tubes, bring in the eels from the outside, and then set a course to pass and get ahead of the convoy for another attack. With eels provided, it usually makes for about 3-4 attacks in this manner.

Note: Of course, this tatic may have to be changed when GWX is released. :hmm:
