Switched to GWX

Well after a few weeks of running vanilla, I switched to GWX 3.0. So far it's not floating my boat. First of all, it takes forever to get out of Kiel (I think that's the name) because every time you run into a German boat you go back to a low TC (4 I think). It's really hard to get it back up to 1024 because once you hit 512 the system becomes almost unresponsive. Maybe it's low memory or something.

Second, my screen is cluttered with all kinds of weird lines that weren't there before. What's the deal?

Third, the radio messages constantly come in and that always sets TC back to 1.

Finally, I mysteriously died for no apparent reason. I was at periscope depth when suddenly I took damage. Though there were no ships around I went to 25m and got the crew to work on the damage (nothing major). Suddenly I took more damage and started leaking. It was relatively shallow so I called all stop and hit bottom at 43m with serious leaking. I loaded up the damage control and got to work on the red areas while the leaking slowly reduced. I went to the hydrophone and nothing. Then somehow I got more damage and guys were dying. Then came another hit and all hands lost. The only thing I can think of is maybe it was a bomber or some other aircraft.

I reloaded and came back with 3 kills. I think I got lucky because I couldn't see the flags on any of the ships I sank. They were all dark, but I think someone here said that if the ships are neutral that they carefully light themselves up so you can see their neutral flag clearly. Is that true?
