"There have been some bugs with holding depth below 180m though" Ooops, 180m then....
in regards to always having to run e- motors, no that's not what I am suggesting. What I am saying is that the deeper you go, the less effective trim tanks would be until a critical depth where you would have to be moving forward to maintain depth. before that you could try to establish a hover and just sit as a depth with no motors on. but beyond that depth you start to loose ground and need to move faster and faster through the water the deeper you go just to stay at a commanded depth, and if you were to slow down or stop you would sink, regardless of how much air you put into the trim tanks. now as I understand it Main ballast tanks are another story. they flood all the way at the surface just to get the boat under water. blowing the tanks at most any depth should create an Uncontrolled assent to the surface provided they are undamaged.
as always I am working with what I understand to be facts, and I may be totally misinformed on those facts.
My assumption here is that this effect is perhaps intentionally in the game, but perhaps too strong a force, or set too shallow, or we all just think it is set too shallow. I have had no luck finding any information on max hover (no dive plane effect) depth for German U boats of any kind.
