Why would I want to hover making noise? Uhm...maybe I am waiting in bad weather at periscope depth, for a convoy or a single ship to roll by... zero speed makes it easier to get a tracking solution, and the weather helps to cover up your noise.

Also... the pumps must be working when you are at the surface, even at zero speed. Why would you shut them out at periscope depth? Unless you want to save battery power or run silently, precise depth managemnt is very important in a sub. As a captain I wouldn't shut the pumps out.

But this is an academic argument... what I worried about is my game/mod installation being screwed up. If it is part of the mod (and "realistic") for the sub to start to take water and sink after a while, then that's ok. I'll learn to live with it.
