-Radio messages to me are addressed to U-**. Not sure how to have or pick a u-boat number.
-using Real Navigation, and the automated dead reckoning position every 5 min when at battle stations seems to start working even when battle stations is not active. It also seems to interfere with the normal every 2 hour celestial fix script. Is it always on once activated? Is it not meant to be used in conjunction with the normal nav script?
-with decks awash, I seem to be unable to use binoculars or lock a target for TDC input with the UZO. Is this expected?
-really not sure at all how, or if I even should, use the ship's journal.
I never played the stock game, so I may be missing some points of reference. Currently using v2.2.10. Will probably start over campaign with v2.2.11.

OK, here we go:
-You can preserve the marks if you save your journal before quiting the game, and loading it when you continue to play. You can select the journal file in the main menu, and if you then exit to the main menu instead of exiting directly to windows you will be asked if you want to save the journal. You can also do that manually at any time in the game.
-The game does assign a U boat number to you. I think you will see it if you get a radio message addressed to you. You can then use the Options File Editor Viewer to make that number your default in the logbooks.
-The scripts for a position fix every 5 minutes should not start on itīs own. Go to the Automation menu and check if the script is active. You can disable it there.
-With decks awash you can indeed not use the binoculars. That seems to be a game limitation. You should still be able to use the UZO but you will have to do some manual targeting
-The ships journal can be a handy tool to look up past events. Also see the first point.
