Can you help me?
-how much can i go fast?
In general, with enemy ships around or anywhere within a few miles away, I usually don't go over 4 knots. Maybe 5 if you're in a hurry. But do it sporadically. Also, if the enemy is pinging, a good strategy is to point your sub toward or away from the pinger. The less surface area of your sub that the sound waves from his ping can hit, the better.

-can i use the streaming wire for radio message?


Yes. No one's going to see it.

-how is important the depth for passive sonar?


It depends on the depth of the sea floor and the sound propogation. It's more a matter of stay slow and low. I usually try to skim along to bottom but you have to be real careful when doing this or else the enemy will suddenly hear a loud "crash" if the sea floor suddenly changes depth and you don't watch where you're going.

If you're talking about your passive sonar, that also depends on depth and wether or not there's a thermal layer present. If you're above the thermal layer, you can't hear anything below it and vice versa so it's a great place to hide and use tactically. Not every environment is going to bless you with one of these though. I believe the first campaign mission is in pretty shallow water so it definitely does not have a thermal layer.

-if i prepare the torpedos for firing someone can hear that?

I don't know if that game models that at all. I know in real life, they can hear it. It's something I've done before entering very hot zones. Maybe someone with more knowlege than I have can answer this one.
