The wind speed is just 5m/s (itīs only light breeze) so manning the guns and using the radar should not be a problem."

"Does anybody know what's the difference between using the battlestations key (F1) vs the option in the officer menu? I can see that it is possible to use both at the same time (it shows different icons in the upper right corner of the screen). Why is it so and which "version" should I use and why? This also applies to silent running."

Your deck gun and flak gun won't work in rough weather, nor will it work under water. The frequent "we are under water" thing is a result of bad weather (high waves) and/or adjusting of various settings (environment mods etc). If it's happening all the time, even in fair weather, then I'd try reinstalling the mod and starting a new game... Keep in mind that using decks awash (manually or as part of the mod) the sub will behave as though it's under water (you can't use binos, take fixes, report visual contacts etc). That's frustrating for sure.
Regarding the different battlestations keys and what not, I'm not sure either. I rarely use them
