Beginner Questions

Hello

I have recently began playing SH3 (56% realism). I have to say I really enjoy it. However, there are a few things I wanted to clear up.

Before I ask, just for reference, I have the following mods installed:
GWX3 Gold
SH3 Commander
Resolution Fix

1). I just wanted to make sure I started my career in the right place. If I understand this correctly, the different flotillas are different campaigns?
Whenever you finish one, do you begin the next with the same captain/career?

2). I picked the 1st Flotilla, 1939 as a starting place. Is this typical/good place to get bearings?

3). By pressing R it takes you to the radio. What can I do there? Does it serve any actual gameplay purpose to change to that view?

4). How do you adjust the "Ambient Volume" button on the hydrophone interface?

5). Any advice on manual targeting? I have been using this video as a reference to learn:

I have seen several websites linked for manual targeting, but they all seem to have been taken down.

6). Best advice on gauging speed? I have been using the a). mark, b). wait 3:15 min, c). mark again, d). measure distance between two marks and multiply by 10

7). I have found that when I miss a ship it will start evasive maneuvering, making it much much harder to hit, or so it seems. Do they ever stop this swerving/evading pattern of motion? Any advice on attacking the same targets more than once?

I appreciate the replies/advice/comments!
