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? (my hit percentage with manual is probably only 15-25% ) I have looked at videos on Youtube but find them hard to use.
Unfortunately I don't enjoy manual targetting at all. I have it turned on but use the WE Assistance. The only suggestion I can make is never shoot from a distance of more that 500-800 meters. The closer you are, the less you have to be perfect.

2) 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?
All I can think of offhand is the supermod GWX. It comes with lots of single missions.

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. Just looking for your opinion on this.
Right at the start of the war you can have a Type VII or Type IX, the two main u-boats. At that point the Allies are at their weakest. All you have to do is look at the Flotillas to see which boat is available in each.

After you've gotten used to the game there is a tool called SH3 Commander which lets you control the game and choose what starting point and what boat you'll have with a lot more control than the stock game.
