I use no map contacts update. I even erased my sub marker from map (Hide my sub mod) and later manually erased marker of sunk ship (as this revealed my position too). I navigate using tools avalaible in SH, drawing lines and circles, with TC 4 to 16, adjusting course from time to time. When night sky is clear I click right mouse button on map to check my position because I think my navigator should be able to fix boat's position using stars. I saw that someone wrote lately about using the same method.

I write patrol log, similarly to the ones published in forum by Sailor Steve (kudos!). Well, mine are quite boring most of the time. "AN2646 | Wind X m/s NW. Course XXX. Speed Y." and so on ;-)

I have decided on Hitman's GUI. While it has no targeting circle around scope present in OLC's GUI/MaGUI, the description provided by Hitman and the fact IIRC that he studied real optics preserved in museums as well as his brief historical info on targeting made by real kaleuns, have convinced me to use it.

I use external camera to check my torpedoes' trails as I'm still learning to target manually. But I don't use ext camera to gather any information that kaleun should not have. I don't use it to plot my fire solution, nor to look at depth charging destroyers. Camera helps a lot in learning e.g. I see that my eel went a bit behind the stern or right under keel but didn't exploded, and I may correct my targeting next time.
