Excited for this series. Here is some advice that I can give you, it's best to set submarine speed to 0 knots before starting the battle, because there are instances where you can be immediately detected, and beware of cavitation. Also, in the recognition book (magnifying glass button) you can view the 'test depth' for your submarines, which can be exceeded to your discretion. And when you create a patrol course, you can hit the circular '4 arrows' button to set a perpetual looped patrol. With aircraft, this will create automatic air patrols during air operations hours. Best of luck and good hunting

Note the Gato class sub has radar!! Might be early to invest in Oilers ... Troops and supplies take islands .. Eng and Oil build ports and airfields. Can always turn in your transports for oilers at a later date. AA Note the Atlanta Class is awesome AA ALL purpose guns don't show up in the AA air defense diagrams - but those guys provide the big puffs of AA bursts. So any dual purpose gun adds to your air defense fire.!

Welcome to WotS! I prefer the unmodded game, so I approve of your choice to try it without TTE first. One of the key lessons to learn about this game are the ways in which it differs from both reality and especially from other games, particularly with respect to submarine combat. Beware of importing habits or assumptions you developed in other sub games. For subs, I encourage you to think about your combat exit strategy. The game AI is very quick to figure out where torpedoes come from, so once you fire, your primary goal should be to escape. I only wait long enough to confirm that my target ship is sinking or not, then I attempt to Retreat from combat. If you let them get over your head to drop charges, your chances are very slim. You did extremely well on your first dodging attempt, the mistake was then to stay in the area and give them a second chance. After you fire, dive deep (learn your boat's depth limit!), go silent, and move directly away from your target at maximum speed. Don't worry about the engine noise, your chance to escape is dependent on making distance, and more speed means a faster dive. If there is a layer, get below it. Try to keep either your bow or stern pointed at any ship emitting active sonar. Once you get deep, you can slow until the propellers no longer cavitate. Click on Retreat, and hope that the timer expires before you do! To get a better target solution, turn on radar (USN subs only), watch the target through the periscope, and identify the ship. Use just enough torpedoes to sink the ship plus enough to overcome duds. Fire *narrow* spreads, usually 1 degree, rarely more than 2 degrees. I know many like wide spreads to ensure that they hit something, but that just wastes torpedoes. Watch the firing angle by hovering over the torpedo tube icon, very low angles are better. The impact angle (which is totally different than the firing angle) has *no* effect on duds, so don't worry about it. Get close, less than 3500 yds is best. USN torpedoes are slow, so fire from ahead of the target, never from behind. Fire at one target only --- it's more important to sink one for sure than to lightly damage several. Treat subs like sniper rifles, not shotguns, and you will sink many more ships while losing fewer subs.

You’re really late to the game on this one. It’s been out well over a year and kinda stuck in development hell. The AI’s mid and late game performance is extremely lacking and I don’t see any attempt by the devs to fix it.
