Thanks Aktungbby! Good to be hunting the high seas again.
I finally got manual targeting turned off! Here's what I did.
There are several gameplaysettings.cfg scattered throughout SH4. Besides documents/SH4/data/cfg/ and Silent hunter 4 wolves of the pacific/data/cfg/, also in saved games!
documents/SH4/data/cfg/savegames/xxxxxxxx/ (latest save)
and...
documents/SH4/data/cfg/savegames/xxxxxxxx/UPCinitial/
I changed them all to my desired settings (all the same obviously) then started SH4, went to options, gameplay settings and made sure the settings matched my edits, then hit accept changes! Voila! No more manual targeting! HTH!
