Where should I start learning how to play Wolves of Steel properly?

I'm sorry if this seems like an often-asked question, I'm sure you guys get a lot of new players asking the same thing over and over, but my searching skills were not enough to help me find the answers I needed.

So after failing to get past the first mission on stock SH5 campaign because of the tonnage bar bug, I decided to look up some mods, and found Wolves of Steel. Did a fresh SH5 install, followed WoS instructions (which were ridiculously easy), and it installed perfectly, haven't had a single crash yet. The only possible bug I've encountered is my ship randomly self-destructing in the middle of nowhere on 512x TC, but it's only happened twice so far.

But man is it ever overwhelming and daunting. I've discovered a few things myself, like how to edit the navigation map settings to put contacts back on, and I vaguely know how to aim torpedos.

But is there a more thorough guide in how to use all the tools to perfectly aim a torpedo? I've seen youtube videos of it, but I'm not really sure how to use things like the stopwatch speed calculator, or the brown spinning disc thing. I've tried googling for guides, haven't found anything. I found a documentation folder in my SH5 directory, but there are so many and I don't know where to start. What I do know how to do is identify a ship (with my best guess using the ship book, anyway), how to estimate its range using the stadimeter, and how to estimate its speed using 2 stadimeter readings (provided I am at 0 knots).

So where would I start to learn how to properly aim torpedos? Does it really make a difference whether or not you fire them under the keel with a magnetic detonator vs on the side with a pistol detonator? And if so, just how far under the keel do you fire them? If the ship book says "draft 6.0m", do I set a magnetic torpedo to fire at a depth of exactly 6.0m, or 5.9, or 6.1?

And what happened to my minimap? I didn't see anything about that in the WoS FAQ, but my minimap is gone.

Without the tonnage bar, how do I know if I am completing the mission objectives properly? I sunk two merchants in the "british coastal waters" zone, but I have no idea if they count towards the objective or not. I know the objectives only end by date now, not by progress completion, does the game even notice how well I complete my objectives? Or am I just supposed to pretend and imagine that it does?

Thanks for any help! I'm sure I have lots more questions that I can't think of right now, that I'm sure you've all heard before and are sick of answering
