Hi all, I am frustrated, I Just started my first patrol as I have been getting practice with manual targeting etc with the mission editor and some single missions, but I have a few questions.

1. So i can (just) track a ship with hydrophones and plot its course and intercept it etc, but I am confused as to how to attack targets if you don't have time to do all that, like how do you work out their speed ect when they are to close do it the long way.

2. Also when you when do you go deeper than periscope depth, just when trying to escape or do you attack from there just without the periscope or? probably a stupid question but I have to learn somehow :S

3.I am using TMO 2.0 and after my first patrol (and a few load games later) I finished back at port with about 95% hull damage and no kills... and my career ending I'm guessing because I had no kills.
The main problem is that I have to use time compression obviously and it seems that by the time it goes back to 1x speed after spotting a plane or warship or something that they have already got a bunch of shots off at me, and the bombers are to hard to spot until the last second anyway.

So basically I would be really grateful for any advise\strategy you would recommend or tips or anything really, perhaps if I understood a bit better how it was done in real life that might help I don't know.
Thanks for any help
