The deeper you are, the more pronounced it is. I know ive said it before, but ive been in numberous situations where I'vte beendown to like 260 meters, with the the boat at a 30 dedgree incline, bow up, stern down, barely hanging on. Say at 3 kt? At 2Kt i would lose depth.
Ive also noticed that the longer you stay in this condition, the harder it is to surface. Most of the time pickign up speed will help you recover depth. (IE, flank) I can remember at least once incident when no speed setting helped me surface and had to order "surface" in the hope that it would blow air into the tanks. It worked, but since i was still under a DC attack i had to stop my ascent. In same attack i had to go deep again. Having ordered surface a couple times and stopping the ascent, i found myself in a situation where the only way to surface (because the command "surface" was no longer working) was to blow ballast.
