A certain oscillation around the ordered depth until the diving officer gets it nice and stable would not be abnormal.
from wikipedia, but close enough:

This. I also think that is very normal that under a certain depth with minimal speed the sub will start to slowly sink, mostly because the bigger water pressure that will overcome the air pressure from the tanks. To have control on depth again, the only way is to increase the speed.
So I think is nothing wrong with the depth control in the game. Stretching the depth limit is only to escape from the sonar, but it has his risk. Problem is that no matter how deep we go, with IRAI enabled, the escort will still ping you down. Just last night I dived down to 258m and they still pinged me and drooped very precise dc's over me. At that depth is no way to survive with a dc near the sub, its insta kill.
