Some newbie questions.

OK, I've played a few patrols now, and I have some questions. I'm an SH3 veteran.

How do you lock targets? In SH3, you could press L to lock targets to keep the scope tracking a target.

Why do some sunk ships not show up on the map?

Is there a way to show "Enemies of Germany" as in SH3?

How do you order a specific depth as in SH3?

I notice ship icons appearing all over the map, but when you click on them no speed is indicated making plotting an intercept impossible. I've also not noticed any convoy notifications though it is only December 1939.

I notice when I secure the deck gun the gun is not pointed along the axis of the sub - it is left pointing wherever it was pointing. How to fix this?

I was shooting the deck gun in rough seas and my deck gun crew vanished. Were they lost overboard? I don't see a way to see my crew roster to tell who is injured/dead.

Is there any purpose to closing hatches? I figured when I told the XO to go to battle stations the hatches would close but no.

I raided Scapa Flow but even when I engaged enemy destroyers with the deck gun none of them engaged me. They surely could have seen me as close as I was. I have had enemy merchants engage me.

Here are my mods:
