some newbie questions...

i just started SH3 with GWX 1.3 and am impressed by the realism (not like Aces where you can sink a ship with just one lucky hit by the deckgun...).
I already went through alot threads here in the forum but there are still alot questions open that i want to post here in the hope they are not too stupid:

1) i know you get a penalty for sinking neutral ships...is there a rule (like 50% of their renown when you sink them as enemy ships)?
2) do you also suffer penaltys when damaging neutral ships?
3) has anybody ever sunk a hospital ship? What tonnage do they have and what penalty did you get?
4) what renown do you approximately get for reaching your search area and how much for being there for 24 hours?
5) is there somewhere a list of torpedos / UBoat upgrades and when they are available?
6) is there a list of maximal dive depths for the different boats? I know that i got crushed with my undamaged early VII in 1939 at 165m...dont want to repeat that
7) is there a possibility to get SH3&GWX1.3 less graphic intense? i already switched of the event camera...
8) (most important) how to use the magnetic pistol in torpedos without(!) manual targetting?

lol, i think thats it for the beginning...thanks in advance for reading it
