And lastly anything that you guys can help a noob out with I'd appreciate it.
Thanks so much.

Hi there,
Since I dont run T.M at all because I'm currently running the "bugs" out of it.
For 3) If DDs repeatedly pick you up, dive to different depths and, slow down to 1-2knts (by switching the type of speed indicator) If you hear ASDIC pinging you, it doesn't matter how quiet you are, he's got you, so floor it and change depth and heading numerous times. Also beware, as silent running halts all repairs and fish loading.
4) One method is sprint and drift (usually when I'm submerged, run for a couple hundred meters, stop and listen) also, if you're having trouble finding contacts, check your map, COMSUBPAC regularly sends the position (heading, speed and type) of contacts near you. Also, remember SD radar is only for aerial targets, so if you're running early war subs, with only SD, you won't detect surface contacts (SJ is the basic surface radar..)
One last minor, and yet somewhat critical point, is to ALWAYS open your doors befor you shoot
I was always getting stern shots before, and finally realized that by opening my doors beforehand, I didn't have to wait the crucial couple of seconds after I shot for my tubes to fill and expel the fish.
With Regards,
Krauter
