Tips/refreshers for a returning player

Hi folks,

I bought SH 4 ages ago and had a great time playing as the US but I never really got into U-Boats. I'm giving them another go but I've got some questions.

1. What's a safe mimimum range from hostile ships when on the surface, both at night and in the day? (i.e how close can I get without being spotted?)

2. How many Km/h is a knot?

3. Do German subs ever get active sonar or surface radar?

4. How accurate do plots have to be to make succesful attacks? I want to make the switch to no map contacts but I don't want to keep missing because I got the speed wrong by a knot.

I'm Using Operation Monsun if it makes a difference (congrats to the mod authors it seems fantastic so far).

Cheers for the help guys.
