Trouble convoy tracking zig zag

Hi,

Getting back into SH3, still love this game... playing 1943, my first time trying later war. And having a ton of trouble trying to get in front of a convoy. I had one or two good approaches and sank a few but the convoy seems to be zigzagging every 25-50 nm or maybe every 2 hours. I swear they seem to turn when I'm in front of them setting up for a shot (almost starting to think the game cheats and knows you are there)

Im pretty sure they aren't detecting me as I'm playing with the green yellow red sub indicator on and it's always green.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get in front of them and get a shot? Cant stay surfaced due to their radar. Submerge travel too slow. At first when i found the convoy, they were not turning that frequently.

Any help greatly appreciated. I get they are supposed to zig zag as that was a tactic, but not sure if turning every hour or 2 is realistic? And if it is, how you get a shot?

Only other thing i can think of is to sail ahead 200 nm and hopefully they go back to a normal zig zag patter like when i first encountered them.
