Yes, GWX has a license to distribute JSGME (an unrelated application). Pls keep in mind though that it is an old version, so the first thing to do is to update it to the latest version, available from my website, link below.

Welcome aboard.

Whilst I admire your commitment to just jump straight in at 100%, as you have discovered there is a steep learning curve.

Might I suggest playing some single missions at less than 100% first to get a good feel for the game?
As Snestorm has suggested, maybe start with map contacts and WE Assist on at first.
Then you can put all your concentration into getting into a good attack position, and evasion procedures after the attack.
Once you are comfortable with this, then maybe turn off the WE assist, so you have to calculate your own torpedo solution.
Finally turning map contacts off as the last step.

Just a suggestion mate

When I started out I found 'The Hunt' to be a very useful link.
