Don't know how to work radar or hydrophones - I'm a total noob at this game.

With these mods you will find that your hydrophones will work on the surface . You can disable hydrophones on surface also . Radar isnt available until historically available date . You can upgrade your equipment such as hydrophones . With the user interface mods you get a shipping chart which you can use to help you find convoys . Believe me with the artificial intelligence mod you dont want to find any hunter killer groups .
