New to sh4 from sh3

Hi I asked a few questions in another thread but thought I would make my own because I've a lot of questions to ask about sh4, I'm a long time sh3 player who finally bit the bullet and got sh4 but I'm largely unimpressed with it except for the shift rotation ability and graphics.

1) can I get a weather report in sh4 like I could in sh3 ?
2) is there a limit on flak and deck gun use in bad weather like in sh3 ?
3) on the attack map in sh3 there was a green line which you could use to tell when the torpedo was going to be fired at 0 degrees to hit your target dead on you can see it here I can't find something similar in sh4 how can I tell when a shot is good besides the green/yellow arrow ? is there a torpedo predicted 'flight path' like in sh3 ?
4) The camera is way too far off the sub on external view when you use . and , is there some way to make that closer to the sub / target so you don't have to hold down shift+up to zoom in every time I look externally?
5) is there a stealth meter? how to tell when detected?
6) is there a target info booklet like in sh3 that will tell you tonnage of target?
7) how do you tell how much percentage hull you have left ? I've seen no hull strength meter either
8) is it normal that torpedoes take only 2 minutes to reload even with 'realistic reload speed' checked ? it takes 10 minutes in sh3 per reload which I prefer for realism
9) is the crew supposed to shout constantly as if under attack even when there's nothing nearby ? every order I give even mundane ones the crew scream 'YES SIR' as if in mortal fear
10) is there an easier way to move crew around than drag and drop? should I keep more crew than is needed for the 3 shifts and just leave the rest in the repair squad thing?
11) my deck gun and flak gun won't fire at will even after orders to, why? do I need to pick a target?

thanks guys I know I have a lot of questions, would be cool for some vets to give me a few pointers on these things.
