It may be a good idé for you to start with Weapons Officer Assist, and Contact Map Updates only On.
From this you can teach yourself what is involved with setting up an attack.
You can loose the Contact Map Updates after a patrol or two, as it doesn't take long to get a general picture.
When, and if, you loose the Weapons Officer Assist requires a judgement call from you.
It's the toughest crutch to give up, but it also raises the immersion the most.
I would reccoment that you stick with Stock SH3 to get the feel of things you do, and don't, like. Read the available literature about any mods you may become interested in. Sometimes fixes come at a price, so it's a good idé to learn as much as possible BEFORE making a decision.
GWX has a great downloadable manual. This is recommended reading, AFTER familiarizing yourself with the strengths, and weaknesses, of Stock SH3. There are also many small mods that may fill your requirements to the fullest. The choice is very individualistic, and should be yours alone.
