Wilkommen, Herr Kaleun!
I run only a few mods/utilities. GWX, JSGME, and SH3 Commander. Have a few sound file mods as well.
As far as starting out with manual targeting/setting up intercepts Wazoo's work is top notch. You'll be sinking ships in no time. Not to leave out all the other great tutorials/advice, but Wazoo's is what helped me, personally, the most.
