Hello;
Thank you for all your responses. I shall take them in order then--

When you pressed the "P" key, what depth did your sub dive to /or/ did it dive at all? Are you sure that you didn't hit the wrong key like I have done on occasion?

In any event, version 1.5 would be a good place to start for a fix.

If memory serves me (with ginko biloba) I am sure I hit the correct P key then the D key and lastly the C key to crash into the murky depths. Yes I do believe I will be getting the ver 1.5 for this game. I know I hit the right keys on my new geezer keyboard (large letters on yellow keys).

I can't remember stock, but I assume the D key is active. Even in heavy seas I don't recall any boat that breached the surface enough to be seen at scope depth. One thing possible if seas were rough is that they saw your scope, started shooting at that and hit other parts of your boat that breached through the waves, if the water was calm, not sure.

Did you notice if you took any damage to your dive planes?

The sea wasn't really rough, 5 meter per second with good visibility.
No damage to dive planes. I couldn't see the boat as I have everything on realistic settings. Again I am sure I'll be getting the ver 1.5 patch. I usually just shadow a convoy in heavy seas until the weather clears to attack.

S-boats are Old and slow,they take a bit of time to get down,and even using the the Dive order,they take awhile to respond.

1.4 and 1.5 don't Matter,They're just as slow in 1.5,if my memory is correct.

About three to five minutes, I was plotting and setting torpedoes after ordering the dive.

Yes sir, indeed I did. The boat didn't dive until I hit the C key and even then it was not a quick dive. No doubt the holes in the bulkheads did help though.

Again- Thank you for the responses
