1) I enjoy manual targeting but i find it hard to get accurate data. Can you give me an easy way to acquire better data please?
Yes... turn on auto targeting assistance.

Or just turn on Weapons Officer Assistance, which I have been led to believe is a nice compromise between auto targeting (game-assisted) and full manual targeting (you do all the work). But I'm still using all the assistance the game will give me, so what do I know? There are many manual targeting gurus here who can help you out better on this one.

) I have the full version bought digitally from Gamestop (v1.4) and I was wondering about getting a mod that gives me more single missions. If such thing exists, would you direct me towards it please?
I think GWX3 adds a bunch of new/extra single missions to the game. Don't know about the other supermods but there are stickies for all of them at the top of the SH3 Mods Workshop Forum. I believe there are also some single missions available for download in the Downloads section here.

3) Last, out of curiosity, I was wondering about what year to start my campaign on. I would like to know a year where there are decent subs to start with but the allies won't have search planes and destroyers out for you right off the dock.
Well, it depends on what you mean by "decent subs." As a person who totally <3s the Type VIIs, I'm perfectly happy to start out right at the beginning of the war with a VIIB, when Allied ASW and air cover is far less effective and widespread than it will be three years later. If you want a boat that carries the maximum possible armament and fuel (for greater range and longer patrols) you are probably gonna want one of the bigger Type IXs which probably means starting out a bit later.

OTOH I haven't played stock enough to know when the different types are available or if there's any difference between stock and GWX in that respect.
