Returning to SH5 from Wolfpack after a long long AFK, looking for suggestions

So I gave TWoS a go, and unsurprisingly I didn't hit a single torp on very slow tankers :c

My main problem i think is accurately IDing a target, I check the sheets, but none of them seem to match up. I don't have this problem with Wolfpack because you can filter by mast code, engine location, superstructure type, islands, etc.

I did try to enable the "auto detection" minimod but it didn't seem to do anything, probably me not using it right.

I feel that the problem with a heavily modded game, especially to a greenhorn like me, is that it's really not that accessible, even disregarding the technical knowledge required to get the Uplay bypass, then the mods, etc.

Unfortunately for me, the tutorials in the script executer don't work, they rely on game mechanics that are disabled (ie auto-detection using the weapons officer)

I just purged my DL, and I'm re-installing. I'll have a look through some basic fixes and light mods, and give the game another go. I'll report back if I manage to sink anything.

Gotta starve my own country by any means necessary! lol
