Old player/picked up the game again and questions

Hey all,

I played this when it first came out and like the first time, I'm a guy that leaves the realism low but don't recall having as many issues as I am now. This time around, I've run into a problem with attacking ships.

Convoys: I tend to approach them at 90 degree angles in order to fire off shots. However, at this go around, I've had bad luck targeting them with Destroyer flanking the convoy, esp. on the side I am. My first mistake was leaving my periscope up and I think they saw that. The second time, I was 1500 yards away but given it was daytime and I was at periscope depth, one of the destroyers saw me even with no periscope up (I assume they detected my position acoustically).

So my questions are, how do you target multiple ships outside of getting noticed by destroyers and can you even fire off shots father than 1000-1500 yards?

One other thing is that my save game is crashing just after I left the Tokyo harbor taking pictures. Increasing time tends to make the game choppy/slow it down and then my game stops responding. Anyone know how to fix that or am I doomed?

Thanks in advance!

Brian
