More questions!!

hi again,
a couple more questions came up during my 5th patrol today :

1) TDC's depth level:
Why's the TDC's depth level all the way going down to 25m max? The deepest draft I could find among trade ships was like a draft of 14m. Are there any circumstances where such a depth level becomes necessary?

2) Bad weather attacks:
I've sunken now quite a few ships but I've got one problem which is that I cannot for the life of me hit anything during really bad weather conditions! Like wind of 15m which happens almost all the time when close to the english coast!

Any advice on torpedo attacks in bad weather?

3) How to ask crew for ship type identification?:
I've seen in some youtube videos that it is possible to ask the crew (or WO?, i cannot remember) to find out if a sighted ship is a warship or not. First I had this pop up asking me how to proceed while also informing me if trade or warship. I've chosen to always go on with the current orders but here comes my question into play. How to ask the crew, cause so far, when I wasn't sure about a ship I went to periscope depth to let my hydrophone guy to the job.

I play on 100% realism what could mean that it's maybe not possible for me to ask my WO(?) for a ship type identification???

Any advice?

4) Radio msg and their relevance:
When I receive radio msgs like "do not make surface attacks west of orkney" or "the fuehrer commands all u-boats to sink all passenger ships from now on" do they have any relevance or are they just there to increase immersion? For example, will I get penalized when I still make surface attacks west of orkney?
