Default 2 questions (1st photo missions,2nd custom difficulty)

Ok first i have to say that this game is amazing,now lets go straight to the questions .






1)In some missions i have to go near an enemy harbor and take some photos.The photo button i have to use tells me that i need to lock on the target with either periscope and then click the take photo button.

So i try to sneak by the enemy subdestroyers and i reach the mission destination (the usual star with some binoculars inside them),what do i do next???

I have tried to
a)stay submerged and try to lock on the harbor i am supposed to photograph with both periscopes.
b)sail inside the harbor(near the docked enemy boats) to see what happens
c)stood with 0 knots over the mission star
d)tried to look with the periscopes directly on the mission star.
e)I've tried all the above both day and night in case that was the solution.
f)Tried all the above while submerged or not.When i am not submerged i just get gangbanged by the land artillery so i guess i must be submerged

Whatever i do nothing happens the take photo button is not availiable to use.
Can someone help me because i am really dissapointed.






2)Is it possible to start a career game with custom difficulty?
I want to play without the fuel restriction (everything else selected) but when i start a game i only have the difficulty option of Easy/Normal/Hard/Very Hard,i dont see anywhere how to choose the custom difficulty i created in the options menu.




Thanks in advance

1)Lock on a ship in the harbor, and the button should light up. If that doesn't work, then locking all the ships one after another should give you at leat one that lights up the button. For me it has always been the first one I lock, with the exception of patrolling destroyers and subchasers.

2)Start the career with any difficulty setting, then while you're in the office before your first patrol(or between patrols) select "Options" from the locker(or bookshelf? don't remember) on the left, and adjust the desired difficulty from there.
