Hitman GUI has an excellent document on U-boat optics and targeting procedures. No stadimeter.

Back to the thread subject:

Every time I leave a port, I check what U-boat actually left the same port during the war. I then try to follow the orders that were actually given to the boat. That how I've once followed orders that forced me to "mine" Bristol Channel. Other patrols I've received orders to drop saboteur teams to North African Coast, and the east coast of the United States.

Uboatnet and BdU KTB's are a great help, as is the war diary of the Mediterranean U-boat commander:
