I wonder if you use more trying to change to a shallower depth over and over, such as you do in a out of control dive. Maybe it's better to not keep hitting the depth icon or periscope depth option over and over.

I assumed compressed air could be replinished. I cut silent running off a few times, but I don't think silent running deals with issues. It appears even with it on your crew will do repairs, even loud repairs as it shows pumps removing water after bulkheads are fixed, ect.

I've never seen detailed explanations on how these systems work within the game or how they relate to each other. Technically if you lose one system, it could have dire consquences on others, not sure the game is that complex, but you can lose compressed air quickly trying to control a dive.

Sub does use a lot of your air when having to fight to change and maintain depths.Compressed air can only be replenished on surface and if compressor is in working order.Talk about a dire consquence.Imagine getting your compressor destroyed then taking on water, fighting for hours, running your compressed air reserve down to nil and making it out alive, only to be unable to replenish your compressed air reserve
