Though I don't have the game installed at the moment, when I do it's usually GWX and Commander, plus a large number of smaller mods and tools. Don't worry, you have plenty of time to learn everything there is to know. SH3 isn't going anywhere and neither are most of us.

1). I just wanted to make sure I started my career in the right place. If I understand this correctly, the different flotillas are different campaigns?
Whenever you finish one, do you begin the next with the same captain/career?
|
No. Each "campaign" is its own entity. It is the career of your chosen captain and it begins and ends with him. There are mods that let you keep the boat and crew with a new captain, but if you die your crew dies with you, and if you make it to the end of the war your career is over.
That said, the game allows you to run more than one career at a time. I usually have one going from each available command, a habit I picked up playing SH1 all those years ago.

2). I picked the 1st Flotilla, 1939 as a starting place. Is this typical/good place to get bearings?
|
One is as good as another. The 1st Flot is based out of Kiel, which means that if you're running a Type II you'll almost certainly be operating in the North Sea, and if you choose a Type VII you'll be either there or in the Western Approaches, south of Ireland. Later you'll be transferred to the west coast of France.

3). By pressing R it takes you to the radio. What can I do there? Does it serve any actual gameplay purpose to change to that view?
|
'R'? I don't remember that. 'M' lets you read your radio messages.

4). How do you adjust the "Ambient Volume" button on the hydrophone interface?
|
That one I just don't remember. Sorry.

5). Any advice on manual targeting?
|
Not from me. I've been playing for nine years and my math hasn't improved one bit.

7). I have found that when I miss a ship it will start evasive maneuvering, making it much much harder to hit, or so it seems. Do they ever stop this swerving/evading pattern of motion? Any advice on attacking the same targets more than once?

If they're aware of your presence they'll do that, and keep doing it until they're sure you're gone. Again I have no answer.
