Do stupid mistakes warrant retries?

ive been playing the game for about 2 weeks now, and i reload.

I reload when my torpedoes which should go 20% to port, instead go 20% to starport (took me a while to realize i had to press the speed button, AoB and distance button TWICE each for the values to be stored correctly AND that the periscope has to be at the correct angle when pressing the buttons)

I reload when torpedoes which should hit the target, goes under the target. (took me a while to realize that ships are loaded differently and not always have the keel at the depth spesified in the recognition manual)

I reloaded many times before i figured out how to properly prioritize and start repairing damage.

I reload whenever i manage to reach a location where a convoy or task force is reported to be at a specified time and for unknown reasons are not. Each time i reload i try different search patterns at, or close to the area to try and locate them. To this date i have managed to reach such a location 4 times, but despite MANY reloads and different search techniques i have not been able to spot any of these juicy targets, not even whem in there several days in advance (imho these radio messages are just for flavour)

I reload trying to figure out why i, despite being in 1943, have not been able to buy a single upgrade equipment, or update my boat. I have managed to sink almost 50K tonnage, am at the top of the scoring list yet still am sailing around in my old clunky S-boat with the same equipment i got issued when pearl harbour happened.

I reload for various other reasons when something happends which i dont understand in an effort to try and figure out what caused them.
