Couple questions from a greenhorn on WoS

[Schmitty89]

So I finally decided to re install SH5 after years of neglect and check out Wolves of steel, WOW! just WOW amazing work from everybody invloved. Anyways my two questions are...

1. After "locking" on to an enemy boat the XO tab comes up where you can enter all your data set mast height ect, every time a wave comes by it removes the tab and resets everything. My understanding this was done on purpose? Is there anyway to remove that for now? I understand its suppose to be realistic but for a new player its frustrating.

2. The para scope automatically retracts when ever you leave the station, anyway to disable that as well?

I remember reading something out changing true false valuers in the TDW patcher but I do not see any for these specific problems. Cheers!
