Thanks Kapitan ! Very fun and interesting patrol so far. Currently 800 kms east of Brest. So far, so good. Taken twelve (!) game days to get this far.
To answer your questions:
- Hsie's colored hull integrity indicator replaces the standard percentage text that indicates your hull's status with a colored square instead, with four different colors indicating different levels of hull integrity.
However each color covers a range of damage status vs. an exact percentage like the standard number display shows.
You know your hull is damaged, but not the exact amount of damage.
Highly recommended.

- The "abandon boat" function comes with Stiebler's patch, which requires Hsie's patch.
To use, one first gives an "abandon boat" order, but then one must surface and then send an "abandoning boat" radio message and then dive again.
It can be difficult to actually use at times; i.e., if your radio is destroyed can't be done and there is rarely time to send the radio message once one surfaces before the escorts blast your boat and end the game anyway. But at least Stiebler has provided the chance.
The AOD version worked much better, but that one came with the game via it's developers.
Stiebler did an excellent job with at least providing a possible option to something that should have also come with the game in SH3 but didn't.
Hsie's patch:

Stiebler's patch:
http://www.subsim.com/mods1/nygm/Stiebler4C_V16B1.7z and this link gives the current patch options selector. Use this options selector, not the one in the Stiebler patch link above nor the one in Hsie's patch kit.

Both patches are highly recommended as they add many great options to the game. Since you're running GWX let me know if you need help installing anything, as Stiebler also provided an easier install method for the patches for GWX. NYGM already has all the editing work done.
Here is Stiebler's GWX patch file.
