Because the diesel-room was the largest-room in the u-boat (78 m^3), it was more or less at the end of the boat and so you have to take additonal 78t of water in the front ballast tanks to trim the u-boat. So overall 156 tons of water in the u-boat ... that was a probelm. A type VII could create only a max buoyancy between 110 and 150 tons.

I am not quite sure about value "78 m^3". It could also be 86 m^3 or similar.. I am too lazy to check it. The number relates to a type VII.

Absolutely agree with you ... but, I was only talking about SH3 and the way in which the game works.
