Are you using automatic targeting? If you're using auto targeting, your weapons officer is not needed. The computer automatically updates your firing solution for you. All you have to do is basically click and shoot. The gyroangle is your main worry when using automatic targeting. You ideally want a 000 gyroangle, +/- 5 degrees. When you have a ship in your UZO or periscope crosshairs, the little triangle above it is an indication of how likely your shot is to hit. A green triangle is ideal, yellow is iffy, and red means your shot has little chance to hit your target. The less your torpedoes have to turn once they leave the torpedo tubes, the more accurate they'll be.
Manual targeting is a whole nother animal altogether, and I'll defer to some of the excellent guides that people have put together on this site.
When you miss from a distance, how are you missing? Are your torpedoes behind your target? Too deep? In front? That's the first step to diagnosing what you're doing wrong, or not doing as the case may be.

Can you confirm that the realism setting affects your renown? I would crank it up more if I knew it did that.

Yes that is confirmed. Smarter people than me have torn apart the game files and our talented modders have reported that this is how the renown/realism values work.

What does the career manager do exactly? For the realism mods, I think I'll wait till I get better at the game.

SH3 Commander allows for career and crew management options. After each patrol, you can see a report of your sunk ships, including (historically accurate by ship class) names of ships sunk, casualties and cargo. You can also award medals outside of SH3's limits to your crew as you see fit, as well as alter crew names and composition. SH3 Commander also offers gameplay options like simulating mechanical breakdowns and sabotage, the ability to start a patrol outside of port and the ability to choose your type of U-boat and it's number, as well as your flotilla and start date of your career.
