Shadowing in the daylight

RL and constant computer issues keep me away of the game but I just read a description of a convoy attack in Teddy Suhren's "Nasses Eichenlaub" and it suggested me some more noobish questions.
Let's suppose I had no previous radio contact which would allow me to get to the right position. Im on the surface in daytime and mu lookouts report a target. Unfortunately, I'm not at all ahead of him. Now I have to dive so that the target wouldn't spot me. If I can get to the right place submerged it's fine but id doesn't happen very often. Then how do you Grauen Wölfe overhaul in daytime? IRL they would keep just the masttops over the horizon, but this is impossible in the flat SHIII world. Is there any kind of "safe" distance (which actually shouldn't exist)? Or you'd dive, get beyond the range of sight and overhaul while diving from time to time to get a Horchpeilung? Especially if the target happens to be a convoy or a task force... This reminds me of a trip to Liverpool... Damn' that battleship! And a tanker...
