I will keep trying I suppose, id love to see a wolfpack in action. On that note I also get messages of wolfpacks attacking convoys in other grud squares, are these just immersion messages or is something actually happening in game?

My findings so far:
Yesterday, after my comment, I started to investigate a little, and I found that the phrase: "Requesting bearing signal from contact keeper", is mentioned in the translation of the "War Patrol" logs, of U-552 in command of Erick Topp, so those messages are for immersion purposes, a great historical detail, it must be recognized!
Now, in my last game session, I dedicated myself to following one of those AI submarines, and the result is that when it disappeared, I have confirmed that they do dive! For a while they are submerged at flank speed, so they are perfectly audible on the hydrophone, but at a certain time they also disappear from the hydrophone, but with an external camera I verified that they were slowing down, and they attacked the convoy escorts! As I was relatively close, about 4km away, even showed me the event camera at the time the AI sub launched its torpedo against the escort destroyer, which missed, and launched a second torpedo, also showing the event camera, but missing again.
Therefore, although it was somewhat tedious to follow the AI submarine, I have been able to verify that they do carry out attacks, not in the most efficient way, but they do attack.
