Depth stability is attained by both buoyancy and dive planes, which are sometimes referred to as "stabilizers" for a reason. If you're stopped, you only have buoyancy...
Think of how the wings lift and maintain an airplane airborne. If the airplane is too slow, it'll stall and crash. You need speed.

Makes sense. I was standing still watching 1 light cruiser and 3 destroyers passing by and was pretty horrified(like you said) when my conning tower popped on the surface
Apparently the periscope meter on the right side of the sight is affected by the type of the submarine. As i was doing the last naval academy mission with model VII the red arrow rose higher than in model II.
