I cant manualy handle the hydrophone, I can sit down at the hydrophone station and when i mouse over the direction handler, Information display and the volume they get highlited. but i dont get to turn the direction handler. Im at the first mission were u need to sink 3 polish merchants. I have tried it when beeing surfaced and when in periscope depth but still dont get to turn the direction handler. Please help, thanks in advance.

Go to the commander and select option 1. On the map there are symbols, little round ones with a cross. Click one and it expands, giving a small description and the option to request a mission.

Every one of those objectives has a 'value'; sinking 50K on the east-coast scores you 1, sinking 100K on the western aproaches scores you 3, and you got 1 for completing the tutorial (Invasion of Poland). Basically at the top-left on the map is your total score.

Use the mouse-wheel, or home/end to turn the handle. For the volume only the mousewheel works.

Press and hold the left ctrl key the 'depth' display will change on the lower left to an analog depth gauge just click on the desired depth.

Although hitting a precise depth might be a little tricky you can get within 5 meters or so.

Or order a dive and when you approach the desired depth Shft+F is hold current depth.

Here are my small questions...

Where is the compass?

How do I man the flak gun?

Thanx for the tip Steamwake

Cant help you with the compass

The flak gun and deck gun i have managed to man sometimes with th F5 and F6 but the crew did not fire at the targets when they were close.
However you can man them yourself and fire them manualy by walking down to them and click the gun, but i guess you know this yourself.
