I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with the sinking problem. I remember in Aces of the Deep you had to come off of silent running after a while because the boat would gradually become heavier and you had to turn on the pumps to clear the bilge. I'm not sure if SH3 models this, because I have hovered at periscope depth on silent running for long periods of time and encountered no sinking. At depth it should be possible to dodge depth charges, due to their sink time, but eventually you'll run out of air or battery power. In any event, I've never had to surface during a hunt because of low air or battery; I either evade long before that or get killed. Thanks for your responses.
