HI Again Gang

Admitting now I am a newbie to this awesome sim, and suck at gaming,,but here goes....

Onto SM #3 now, "Courageous"

and cant get her know matter what,,some questions arise:

-I know now to head se and get her cause shes too fast and will slip away...I do, get up to only best about 1800 meters,,,lock the torps, and let 2 or 3 go, knowing shes big...

well, every time I can sneak up, and fire, I MISS, (NOT BY a little), but the torps are heading off nowhere!!! watching from F12....

with 0% realism, do I have to(did) select 'weapons officer/pick nearest ship? or recommend is best? also, lock dosent work it seems or help...what am I doing wrong, do I have to set officer tasks, all the time in easy mode? seems even lined up, and in range, WHO DO I KNOW WHICH TARGET WILL GET TORPED? even when I lock on...even periscope lock, there go everywhere sometimes,,,why?

??

also, where the heck did my watchman officer go,,in BL of screen, he's been 'missing' since mission 1 I think,,cant find him anywhere,,,heard a patch fixed this, but im already on 1.4

where did he go? lol

I must admit, I am more patient, and am lil 'sneaky' already, but this great sim will take me time,,,hahahahahah

any help on sinking this beast would help..thnx
