Yes, it is much more realistic. But realism isn't for everyone, and sometimes we need to just have fun. One thing you can try is Multi-SH3, which is a tool that makes it easy to have more that one installation of the game.

I restarted my career and was re-doing the training, i only managed to sink 3 of the ships before i ran out of shells.

If you don't fire until you're within a thousand meters you won't have that problem.

1 - When i am in the command room, there is a big pole which looks like the periscope directly in front of my helmsman.

That is where the observation periscope was in real life. The stock game has it totally wrong. Watch Das Boot (preferabley the five-hour Uncut version). You'll see just how crowded those boats really were.

2 - On the bridge to the left there is something that looks like a hoop that restricts my view.

That is the Radio Direction Finder loop. Get this mod http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1882. It will let you raise that loop up and down yourself, as well as the flag on your boat.

3 - When using my binoculars on the bridge, the headings at the top of the view have disappeared, and also when using the binoculars and your facing the fornt of the sub, when you look as far down as you can you can actually see the front, however in GWX you cant, i found this really helpful when steering towards enemy ships.

There is a way to put the bearing marks back, but it involves changing a file that is very easy to screw up if you don't know what you're doing. I find that looking in the general direction without the binoculars, and then looking through them works just fine. If you really want that back I'll tell you how to do it, but be warned that it can be dangerous.

Also, to get the full 1500 renown bonus from the training in GWX you only have to do the Navigation training. The AA class is unecessary.
