Looking for an EASY way to get started!

I have played several modern sub sims and have been successful, but SH4 has me REALLY feeling stupid! I completted the first 3 training missions without difficutly, mostly automated, realism at 58%, but training mission #4 has me dead in the water before i get to try anything.
I really don't have time to read a ton of manuals, I just want to play and have fun, increasing realism and knowledge as I go. But if I can't even complete the training I'm going nowhere fast.
Does anyone have some SIMPLE help to learn this mission using basic, automated controls for a moron?
I'm a 23 year fire captain that has no "sea legs" apparently, I'm not stupid, but this one has me frustrated!

No the Convoy attack, I get sunk without ever even hearing any depth charges. I don't evne know I'm under attack, I just keep getting damage reports. I really have no idea how to approach this training mission.

since you're brand-new to this forum, I assume you play the vanilla version aka the stock version aka SH4 patched to 1.4 and nothing else, right? Or do you have purchased the uboat add-on too? If that's the case, your version number should be v1.5.

Much of this forum is about mods. It's been a long time since I tried the school missions, and I haven't seen a convoy in career mode in ages, but I have modified the strenth of the hull of all the subs in my version. Maybe not realistically correct, but it prevents me of getting sunk too quickly. If you want, I could help you increase that for you too...

I have purchased the U-boat add on, and have v1.5. But what i can't figure out is why I'm getting damage, enough to get sunk, when i have no indication that I'm being attacked?
