Problems with TGW

I'm using TGW1.1a and my first patrol with G7a torpedoes. When I have come upon a warship I have the depth set to 1m, fast running, and I have tried Impact and Magnetic. I usually fire when the ship is between 500 and 300 m and it is between 0 - 90 degrees side-on shot. I never hit the ship.

When using SH3 (modded) I had no problems hitting a target.

But with TGW (my first time using it) in Sept 1939, I'm not hitting a damned thing. I might as well stay on the surface and throw eggs as them for all the good my torpedoes are doing.
I got into Scapa Flow and missed every damed ship so I reloaded the game, left Scapa Flow and continued down the west coatline to Dundee and was heading towards it when I come across an Armed Trawler doing 8 kts. All 4 torpedoes would not sink it, the torpedoes never hit the damned thing. Yes, I open my outer doors before firing.

That's one problem with TGW

A second problem is I find that I have to press the + key on the number pad several times before I can change TC from 2 to 4, 4 - 8, 8 - 16. And to pause the game I have the same problem, using the mouse on P to pause the game, I find I have to do that several times as well.

What's going on with TGW anyway.

I never had those problems using SH3 and took the training in the game and I never missed when I fired my torpedoes (G7a).

I'm using a VIIB.
