No prob. Just keep on practicing and youll get the hang of it real quick. It took me 4 days to sink my first ship and 2 weeks to win my first sub vs. sub battle. Though now (about two months later) i sink 9/10 ships i fire at and win sub battle around 7/10 and the ones i loose generaly end with the enemy dead as well.

As far as the TMA one thing you could do, which is what i usualy do, is turn on the TMA autocrew. They practicaly hack, autocrew can place a perfect solution with only sonar, and most of the mistakes the make (they have about a 70-80% accuracy) are generaly obvious. Sometimes they will classify a contact as a torpedo traveling at like 5 knots (which is generaly a sub since some subs have signatures close to certain torpedos, akula isnt far from a 65 cm if i remember right. Other times there will be a surface ship that is moving on its normaly route and then your tma guys will decide its now moving at 50 knots in a differant direction (just remember its most likely where it was before). So overall even though it isnt completely accurate autocrew is probabley alot more accurate than the average simmer and it gets a solution in about .5 seconds where as doign TMA yourself can take alot of time, expecialy if you are going to keep checking up on it to adjust your solutions. If your playing multiplayer you practicaly have to use the autocrew to hope to win. Sad as it is even a master at TMA could have a hard time beating someone with autocrew on simply due to the fact that they are actualy working it out wile the computer just gives the opponent a most likely pinpoint accurate solution in less than a second, giving the opponent more time to start up a firing solution and get ready for clearing dantum. TMA is in my opinion the hardest system to learn and i personaly just dont really enjoy doing it (hehe probabley because im not very good at it) and with autocrew you can spend more time in the sonar room and other stations (looking for those nearly impossibly to see missile launches :rotfl: )
