Decision dilemma

I don't know for certain that you have to be within visual range, but I do know for a fact that you have to be within a certain range to get credit for the kill. Sucks, but thats how it is.

A bird in the hand.... or seagull as it were

Better to confirm the kill of one merchant than to move on and hope that you can sink something in the convoy. You might end up with no kills at all

I am sure that Dönitz will understand when you tell him "I was pretty sure that merchant would sink, that's why I left it afloat Sir". Maybe you will be promoted to Barnacle Scraper 3rd class

Take the confirmed kills you can get, its gonna to be a long war.

I use a simple rule for this issue.

If you are still within Hydrophone range of the convoy/ships then you will be creditited for the sinking. I mean max hydrophone range, all stop, silent & 40m. So realistically you're looking a somewhere between 30-50km.

Just shadow the convoy on either flank and you will get credit. Even if you don't you'll know for next time.
