TDC and other curiosities

Greetings fellow Captains!

I had a few curiosities about the TDC and some random stuff.

1 - When measuring the range to target, I just wanted to confirm that I understand this properly: crosshairs need to be at the waterline of the target then stack the image with the tallest point on the ship, correct? So how will this work if the ship in question is not at a perfect 90 degrees?

2 - What is the general visual range of target vessels ie how close can I be during daylight before the ships will notice me?

3 - If I'm sinking bow first, would blowing ballast and going full reverse be a viable tactic?

4 - Finally, is there a mod available that will give me some normal dials and readouts? I don't particularly like using "Enter" to view things like battery and CO2 status.

That's all. Thank you in advance for your help.

Cheers to you and those on eternal patrol.
