WOS 'Task Force Sighted' Annoyance

Okay, finally got to the point where I can tolerate the idiosyncrasies of SH5/w WOS but after encountering my first large convoy ran into a bit of an annoyance. A little odd to find a 25 ship convoy near the Shetlands in February compromised almost entirely of Liberty Ships (at least the hull model) but that's neither here nor there.

More importantly, as I began engaging in a night time running surface shoot and scoot I ran into something that was making me want to tear my hair out. "Task Force Sighted" every 1-2 minutes as a ship on the far side of the convoy was lost and reacquired by the lookouts. Which dropped me back to 1x TC. It doesn't seem like a such a big deal until I tried to play out the next several hours worth of attacks. The constant notifications made it frustrating as hell as I couldn't run even a low level of TC for more than a few seconds before I got dropped back to 1x TC.

Tried adjusting the options but couldn't find any setting that would prevent this. What would I need to adjust so that the message box notifications don't drop me all the way of TC?

Also have sunk nearly 400k worth of tonnage (Baltic, Coastal Waters, and invaded Scapa Flow) and cannot for the life of me get the campaign goals to tick off. Am not getting the option to select a mission when in the Sub Pen, is currently Feburary 1940. At what point will I get offered new missions?
