Personal Questions

Hey all

So by now I have put around 100 hours of playtime but there still questions and I was hoping I could get some help.
  1. I see that when you are in the world map, on the top left there is a square that says Total Germany, the date and a few crosses (around 6 small and 2 big ones), then I see that each mission has different crosses too as you request them, so I'm assuming that as you finish missions, those values go up to fill in the 8 crosses, now the questions is, I have finished around 4 missions already, in the right side of the screen at the top there is the icon for the map, then the icon for the crew and then a hat, when I click on the hat, in that menu a little bit above the middle to the left it tells you if the mission is complete or not, when every time I went back to base, the mission said complete but I was never credited for in that square "Total Germany"...is that how it works?
  2. Warships are hard to hit, they see my torp (steam) coming and they accelerate and my torp passes by their behind, so I started shooting a little bit in front of them using TDC off, but still I don't hit them, out of 20 shots I hit around 2 only. Are there any tricks?
  3. Can't seem to get a hit with TDC on even though I put in the speed, range, etc. With TDC off I have to align the solution 1 with 1, or 3 with 3 etc and that's what I'm using and I'm good, but is there a formula or mod that I can work out some math and not be matching numbers, just fire in X heading and forget about it. When I played Flight Simulator I would do some math and I was able to calculate my travel time and fuel, anyway that I can do that with torps, I know that if I spend a day I can come up with a formula or spreadsheet, but I'm trying to avoid that.
  4. Is there a way to be able to run the diesel engine underwater?
  5. Is it possible to shoot torps from 30 meters deep or so when below periscope and not having to come up to periscope depth, I had a destroyer close by the other day and could have blown her out of the water, but I had to stop the party in the boat and let her pass by.
  6. Sonar, is that option in the game where I can send pin and get range and position of a target?
I'll like to master this game and those are my few questions that I can't figure out.

Thanks
