I found that doing the exams in the Naval Academy was a very worthwhile experience, as it saved me doing a lot of learning on the job. Let's face it, you can mess up as much as you like in the Academy, but in a career you only get once chance

I play with GWX3.0 and 100% realism. The convoy attack exam was a total nightmare to pass, but I managed it with no dud torpedos. As mentioned above, try to stick to attacking from 90deg AOB. I also set all my eels for impact pistol rather than magnetic. That will cure your "passing under the ship" problem if you set running depth at 4m or so.

Good hunting!
