I started with limited fuel, CO2 and compressed air and auto targeting.
Soon added manual targeting. I ran for a long time like this just to get
a feel for the game, had lots of fun sinking ships and learning how to patrol
and how to handle DDs ect. and how to plot course and speed of targets.

Save your games often when you are learning, it saves a lot of time and frustration

Fuel isn't much of a problem till you go to limited Batt., that changes everything.
Fuel management becomes real important.

I left dud torpedoes till last, couldn't handle the frustration.

For manual targeting I found a large freighter and saved the game and used
the save for target practice till I got a handle on manual targeting. Try different
approaches and ranges, stern and bow shots, ect. It's not as hard as it seems.

This worked for me, I had lots of fun and moved to the next level in my own good time. Each step up brings it's own rewards.

Welcome aboard mate and have fun.
