Your prerogative, of course. but you should read the SH4 manual on the use of the Manual-Targeting system. It is not like the Auto-targeting in many respects. Look in the Support folder for "SilentHunter4 Manual.pdf" in any of the SH4 versions, or any of the mods. Start on Page 29 at the bottom for the "Periscope Station - Attack Periscope", but it gets into the dials you can manipulate on Pages 34-43. Just remember that you should press the "Update" button twice each time. Once to "Select" it, and then again to update the input.

Also, be aware that once you run the game, it writes data to the Save folder. If you did not empty the Save folder to clear the old data, after adding FotRSU to the Stock game, or if you did not empty the Save folder after removing the conflicting mods, you often will have similar troubles to what you describe. That folder, by default, is "C:\Users \UserName \Documents \SH4". But that is system dependent, and you might have OneDrive activated and also in the path, or if you used MultiSH4, it might be a different 3-character name.
