I can help with some of this.

1) are you patched to 1.2 from Ubisoft? You should not have internet issues, so unless its an issue in your country or if you have not uploaded the patch this may be the issue.

2) When you start your save game, the campaign advance tester whould start and tell you if it has failed or succeeded. Then you have to be out in patrol while the campaign transfers over. In your TWoS documents there are dates that tell you when campaigns and missions begin and end. If you are in the pens during this transfer of dates, you will have issues.

3) Yes it is wonky as you put it. I bet you should have more ingame awards than you do. This is a bug I believe, and it is a reason you get the "start campaign with 7B mod". You just have to wait for Doenitz to issue you your new boat friend.

4) At extreme depths In Real Life, the water pressure is just playing havoc on all of your boats seals, valves, and hull. While flank is a little much, I can understand why. In TWoS you can select the engineer and manually order the dive planes (awesome addition by the way), and this can help you maintain your boat depth. I highly suggest this, than burning precious amps in flank speed.

5) This game is awesome that it models time, and weather, and moonlight well. If the moon is out, you will be seen. If you have the 60 m/s windspeed on like me, and you are decks awash, your boat will go under water from time to time, and the engines will be heard by escorts as your boat bobs up and down the extreme levels! Ive tested this many times, it does happen!
If you are attacking on the surface, you have to take these things into account. The darkness is your wife, the fog your girlfriend, the moon your mistress! You have to juggle all of them so they do not kill you!

6) Unsure, never tried it.

7) Most fluff, but you will receive radio reports on convoys, and contacts in your area. Pay attention.

8) Depending on the year of the war. In the beginning you do not get wolfpacks, as there are not enough boats. But I believe they do appear later. Soon friend, you will hunt in your pack.
