I'll help you, but you will need to read the tutorial to get a grasp of what is needed to do a successful manual plot. I don't want to rehash what's already been covered in the tutorial.

Here's a question for you, which side are you playing? German or American? That will narrow down the possibilities.

I'll agree "it's complicated". No doubt, there's a learning curve to manual targeting. After all, you're going to preform the duties of several men (captain, navigator, weapons officer, helmsman, sonar man, chief cook and bottle washer). You won't have time to do everything without getting a bit unrealistic by pausing the game from time to time to do all the duties necessary. I point that out in the tutorial. After a while, you'll be able to make a smooth transition from one job to the next, creating a more realistic "feel" to doing several tasks at once. Again, the first step for you is to read the tutorial to understand what you really don't understand.
