Some questions

Hello all !
I have a few questions about SH5 ,and maybe some of you will answer and help me fiind the right path.
Ok ,where shall I begin ? I installed a fresh version of the game (not Steam version) ,updated to 1.2 , installed Sobers mega mod and TDW patcher . All good until here !
Questions :
1. When I open the OptionsFileEditorViewer , I can not enable the snorkel because I don t have the submarine options as I see in the image of Sober . But this is not so important for me, because I can play without it .

2. I have watched many times the tutorials that I have found on the forum about how to play with real navigation and realism 100 %, but I still cannot sink any ship . I can navigate with real navigation ,but it is one week that I am playing every day and I have started many times a new mission (the first one) ,but every time is the same . I can detect the polish task force and complete the main objective but when I am looking to sink down a ship , all the ships that I fiind are at long distance and I always find an escort that is coming straight towards me and I have no chance against it . I don t know how can the escort detect me , because many times I was stoped at periscope depth . How it is posible to detect me from 5000 m or more ?
The question is what can I do when an escort is coming straight in my direction ? And why all the torpedoes that I shot in front of the escort are duds? I have shot lots of times but all are duds .
Can someone explain to me if there is a method that I can follow to get closer from the enemy ? In all the tutorials the ships are at medium range and closing ,but in my reality a ship is closing to me only with angle on bow 0 and I am allready detected .
I have watched as I said stoianm s tutorials and he explain verry well ,but his ships in the tutorials are folowing the course and not hunting him . I also watched and liked a lot shaefer tutorials ,but in this tutorials he detects a freighter and not escorts .
I suspect that maybe the complete Sober mod list is not for someone who just discover the game, but I have read a lot on the forum and I have seen that this mod list is the most complete one and I thought that is better to learn from the beginning the right way .
What do you old players advice me to do?

Another question is how do I change the color to the lines that I draw with tools map ? All my drawings are grey and I see that many players have nice colors .
