GAAARGH help me get a workable UI/workflow

Helloings all,

I played SH3 with GWX a lot, but now when you can pick up SH5 dirt cheap, I did so, and after checking vanilla (and being completely horrified), I got a megamod - wolves of steel.

Now, I am stuck at the first mission, because it's damn near impossible to get a torpedo off in the right direction from 2200m - partly because these early war, probably hardly aware that there is a war, polish destroyers become alerted to my presence if I go nearer, even though it's night (WTF?). Also, if they start shooting aircraft while I am on the surface within say 8 000 metres, I get hit - automatically, what's up with that?

Now then, to get a good shot on a warship requires precision, requires speed in getting the solution. With everything hidden behind different menus and having to drag things around because there's not enough room in the periscope view/interface, I don't hit what I am shooting at.

Is there any way (i.e. compatible mods) to get it more like the OLC style, with recognition manual neatly behind the TDC interface, etc. I mean, I don't need it to be the exact same, but having to pull out the clock (much worse clock than SH3 btw), and the recognition manual is an unruly beast, all while having to tell the watch officer via a menu to follow target or not (the old "L" -key) is a pain! Also, a teleport menu that is always visible would help too. Of course, there might be some hotkeys that I'm missing, but where to find the hotkeys?

Glad to see the OLC disc there though, but it's resolution is not very pretty.
