Newbie w/ questions

This simulation is so interesting and addictive! In playing the game further, I had some questions:

1. How to correctly identify ships using the manual? Many turn perpendicular to my boat making the id hard. Also, a lot of ships look alike and I think that might be a reason why my torpedoes didn't hit them.

2. The other possible reason for the misfires where how to ensure that the ship viewed through the periscope is the same on the map? Sometimes, more than one ship is about the same distance away from the sub. That makes developing a target solution harder.

3. How to avoid ships that "sneak up" on me? In the Midway quick mission, destroyers suddenly appear out of the air.

4. How can I use sonar more effectively? I read that you need to run silent and dive at 80-95 ft. However, how to ensure that I am tracking the correct ship?

Happy Hunting!
