Very annoying when trying to be quiet and sneak away from the destroyer coming at you and caused you to panic and crash dive from periscope depth in the first place.
I've tried not to ever do that, but I forgot a couple of days ago and had the issue again.

I find that if I crash dive..but before I get to 75 meters at full speed, I hit a to stop at a specific depth..if you slow to silent speed you will sink 10-15 meters below until the sub re-balances the trim tanks and restores buoyancy...remember a crash dive..they flood the tanks to get underwater asap!
1. Crash dive, full throttle
2. Hit a 2x at say 50 meters [7 knots]
3. Hit ahead slow (#1)
4. Sub takes on surfacing posture (nose up) [2 knots]
5. Depth gauge keeps sinking about 10-15 meters then slowly climbs back to 50 meter mark
I don't think I could handle malfunctions...damn planes are pissing me off enough as it is....now to have a damn busted boat! grrrr
