Before I can figure that out I have to find the code that says unit hit the bottom - don't let it go through the bottom first.

I see
On a side note, have you seen the graph at page #1665? I wonder which rpm/speed curve is coded in game.
Setting a realistic curve (especially for electric propulsion) is going to impact the optimal silent speed for evading enemy attacks. This is supposing that, as in rela life, enemy detection in game is affected by propeller's rpm, rather than by speed per se.
According to the article mentioned in the above post, the most silent running speed was at about 90 rpm, which should correspond to the second slowest speed order in U-boat speed telegraphs: "Langsame Fahrt".
Also note that speed orders for diesel propulsion (expressed as a fraction of the maximum speed/rpm) had a different "spacing" among them than their equivalent for electric propulsion:
Code:
Diesel Electric
KF 0.34 0.20
LF 0.54 0.39
HF 0.62 0.54
2xHF 0.80 0.69
GF 0.95 0.80
AK 0.98 0.97
3xAK 1.00 -
As far as I can see, SH5 uses the same settings ([EngineProperties] in NSS_Uboat7*.cfg) for both diesel and electric propulsion. I wonder if you could patch the game to use different ratios for them
