Stealhead is right. There were small 'wolfpacks' used late war, but coordination was rather limited. There was nothing like the German practice of large packs communicating with constant radio chatter. It seemed to be more a matter of coordinated search than coordinated attack. (There was reluctance about possibly being hit by friendly torpedos.) From what I've read, it's debatable how effective they were.

As far as simuating this in the game, I imagine this would be very difficult. As it is, the AI subs cannot even dive or fire a torpedo. We will most likely have to wait for Ubisoft to come out with SH6 for something like this.
