Hello. I have a few questions on convoy stratégy. My curent time is start of 1940. I have a large convoy with 3 destroyers, it's at night with a light fog. I am using TWoS mod.

I have the convy course and I approach them from 90 degrees at around 10km. I think i am around 1500 meters of their track at 90 degrees.
With this ligh fog I spot first the destroyer leading at same speed of 6 kts. I am stopped in the water and I have a visual contact when the ship is at around 3000m.
Problem is that when the destroyer is at or below around 2000m even at speed 0 and periscope just above the water line, he start to light everything and increase speed and run at me ....
I dunno how can they spot me at night like that...

Any help ?
