Because it's very difficult to control depth when stationary, without waterflow over the dive-planes. Probably would be impossible in rough seas.
For realisms sake, maintain speed at all times when submerged.
Real skippers never stopped to wait in place (afaik), they calculated a course to steer and set speed to arrive on a firing point at the same time the target arrived at desired postition. It's about syncing you're aproach with the targets movement.
