Real life is more important to you than a game? What's wrong with you?

Went to game station recently, saw preowned SH4 for 3pounds99, brought it straight away and installed it, played through the tutorials, really impressed with the graphics and effects, but when i got to the convoy tutorial, i simply couldn't get close to the merchants because of the destroyers. I tried everything like silent running, went deep or behind them, but i kept on getting detected, depth charged, or missed the convoy completely.

First, which version of the game is it? If it's an early version (1.0) it needs to be patched to 1.4. If it's 1.5, which will say SH4 GOLD: U-Boat Missions on the cover, then it's fully patched and you're ready to go.

The tutorials that come with the stock game are hard.

I read the sticky threads on this forums, but they are all for advanced players, or i am too dumb to understand them.
I've completely forgot the tactics i used for sh3, and is really stuck
Could someone help me plz?

Step-by-step is better and easier than general instructions. I suggest you try the tutorial again and make notes of exactly what went right and what went wrong. Post those in this thread and many people will tell you what you need to know, since bragging about how wonderful we are is what keeps us entertained...no, wait, I meant helping others get it right...

If you want to get v1.5, you're best bet is to find a copy of SHIV The Gold Edition which has both SHIV and the UBM already on it on one installation disk. As v1.5 is the final version of the game you'll find that most of the mods are geared toward it. Check around a little and I'm sure you'll be able to find one at an affordable price.
