Not sure I got the video. For one moving your men on watch like you're putting them below decks faster yourself doesn't work in game. You're actually overworking two crews. You need 3 watch crews to keep fatigue factors balanced. The crew will all automatically go below once engines go off line and the sub is headed underwater, about 28ft.

I don't use the tactic for planes, with stock you would be going through this process every time you surfaced, so I would just stay dived. If I got a plane contact, I would just engage crash dive and not wait for visuals to go to flank and hit crash dive. You're dive process is actually longer than 20 seconds, because your going decks awash first before you dive and it appears your count starts from decks awash to going under. Why not just crash dive at first contact, you should be under before the plane even gets a visual. If you let a plane get a visual, more planes will come in.

Running decks awash is a valid tactic I use at night doing surface attacks.
