1) the button would be the cavitate button. All forward bells are implied as do not cavitate (unless you get the 3 rings). I can't remember if Flank followed that rule or not. All backing bells are cavitate, unless told otherwise. In the software under normal changes the forward speed would need to follow the cavitation profile until the ordered bell (or speed) is reached. If the cavitate button is activated then you answer the bell aggressively.
2) if I understood correctly you mean that as you change depth the subs speed may or may not need to change. That would be correct, as you go deeper, maneuvering can answer a higher speed until the ordered bell (or speed) is reached. Likewise if you are going shallow, lower the answered turns to prevent cavitation.

Flank followed the rule too. I think we may have to look at a complete overhaul of the ships speed mechanics in game to get closer to reality. In the mean time a cavitation profile chart for each boat, and learning that profile, would also put you closer to reality as well. Before qualifying OOD you had to qualify EOOW, so an officer would learn early on the operational constraints in regards to speed vs depth for cavitation.
