Yeah, and you can also order your men to aim for the waterline if you have an officer on the bridge. (I find flaking rather boring, unless there are som pt boats in the area)

Ok, but does anybody know why i get that stupid mini-wake/blur, as shown in the pic above?

Seems typical to me, ww2 subs dont exactly have a huge wake as they are fairly hydrodynamic on the surface, small, and narrow.

However you could try other wake mods (its just a graphics replacement so not a problem) if you realy dont like it, or make your own too

What is more effective to use torps on impact or set it to magnetic and set depth just below the ship?

All depends on your angle to the ship
If you are as close to a 90 deg angle you can get +\- 15 deg then go for an impact shot
Anything outside of that I normally use a magnetic - try not to use the magnetics in rough weather as they tend to explode prematurely

i have the same issue with GW's, it took 4 torps to sink a c2 after a long long wait.

also have been unable to complete the academy mission for the deck gun, simply run out of ammo before being able to sink all the ships and yes every single shot was on/under the water line.

the only other irritation i have is the radio messages being in all capitals, it just bugs me.

Personally I would have done the academy before installing GW as it makes it harder to sink ships - and it says so too
As for the radio messages did not really notice all in caps - there was a thread in here recently about changing the text in the radio messages
Give the search a go

EDIT

Here it is
