Have u ever really shadowed a convoy??

Well, i up to this pooint i usually use up all my torps in the VIIB when i see a convoy, and leave about 2 or 4 more torps left just in case i spot something juicy for the rest of the patrol. So i dont really shadow convoys in the VIIB. But now i have an IXB, with TONS of torps! And i used about 8 of them so far on a convoy.. 4 malfuntions, miss, 3 hits, and i still have about 10 more torps left!!! So im its about 4:30am right now. 1 small merchant sunk, 1 troop transport sunjk.
Im going to get well aft of the convoy and reload my torps from external, they go at it again. Ill probably stay on the right side of this convoy, since i see no escort over there. Thing is, im going to wait till dark the next day (or today April12 1940). So i gotta shadow them for quite a while. Hope i dont get spotted!!
Any suggestions?!
