You want to stay away from task forces; lots of destroyers and they don't like you. Plus they are faster than you, especially in rough seas.
After 1943 all U-boats are the same; they all get sunk by airplanes. Before 1943, the VIIC could dive faster; valuable if an airplane is after you. The IX boats have a lot longer range, so are valuable for long patrols.
Playing the major mods will be more realistic in the AI of the Allied forces.
If you transfer to another flotilla, your crew does not go with you; if you use SH3 CMDR, however, they can.
Using renown allows you to get other goodies, such as radar, ASDIC, radar receivers, snorkel, etc.
