Better behavior is settling a random (5-20m) depth below commanded when not under speed and some fluctuation over time as the engineer tries to fine tune the trim being very worried about breaking the surface.
I AGREE. All stop at any survivable depth should not result in free fall.

Silent running should slowly degrade your trim, and a certain amount of "slop" should be allowed in setting trim to the desired depth. But having to go over ahead slow to prevent sinking should only happen with flooding given the depths this game is played at.
