Medals awarded do not make sense

Lol, I appreciate the responses.

Yeah, I'm definitely opening the tubes before firing. I even come to a full stop before I do so. I set the torpedo depth to as shallow as possible... the boat in front of me was less than 2000 yards away going close to 90 degrees yet I still managed to miss it and somehow hit a destroyer as a stray.

Ok, here are a few more questions I had:

1) What do WO and SD stand for? What are the differences between radio contact, WO contact and SD contact? As far as I know my S-boat only has a hydrophone.

2) Is there a way I can set the torpedos to run straight, without inputting any data to TDC? Sometimes I only have time to eyeball it if I'm really close to the target.

3) Does the depth that you are at have any gameplay significance at all? Is there any point going below 60 feet or so? No ship can ram you.

4) How in the world do the destroyers keep finding me? As far as I have gathered, hydrophones listen for noise of the fin blades / motor. My boat was stopped and deep under the sea. Yet the destroyer somehow distinguished me from the rest of the environment and sunk me. How the hell did he know that I wasn't some rock formation or a dead whale?

Is there any way to hide from the all-powerful magical hydrophone?

5) How would one go on about upgrading to a better boat? I like starting off with the crappiest ones in the olden RPG fashion, haha. Should I just go for the one I want right off the bat?

6) Where can I find more information about the meaning of alternative dashboard stuff? What I mean is that you can switch between "1/3, 2/3, Standard / Full" speedometer and "Speed in Knots" speedometer. What is the difference in switching between the last depth-meter thingy? One shows higher number for some reason. I'm also a bit confused on why the Left/Right rudder controls go up to 35. I can't think of any way how it can add up to 360 lol.

Thanks for the warm welcome, friends.
