Some Noob questions

I'm on my second career, 1st was with auto aim and map updates, this new on I'm usingManual TDC and no map updates. As it is my 2nd patrol (1st patrol manual tdc was off I somehow misclicked, same with map updates) I now torped 2 small merchants costing me 3 torps. I'm in a IIa sub it's hard to overtake them. And thus I need to be on the surface with engines at max speed.

My question is at what range does the merchant see me, as both spotted me and I was forced to dive and pray for a hit... wich worked

My second question: I read something about a 1st patrol issue and why I shouldn't upgrade anything. What's this about?

3th I have 1500 reknown to spent at start of my career should I get a 200 reknown guy or get free ones and save the reknown?

4th and last ... for now

I'm back at home port and I can wait 1 more patrol ( I should have enuf reknown for a VIIB or get me a IID now?

P.s. am playing stock version (only changed some *.tga files used for tracking) with lastest patch.
