This is most prominant in the IX boats. Its barely even noticeable in the VII boats.
As an experiment, make your crush depth like 275. Go down to 260 meters, go to silent running, and make your speed 2 kts to reduece RPM - hence run more quietly. Over short period time you will see your boat slowly lose depth. This is remedied by increasing speed.
Stay down there long enough, and you'll find the boat becomes less and less responsive to depth changing requests. At some point the only way to move topside is to put the boat at flank speed. I have been in a situation at least once where this didnt work, and i had to blow ballest. Whats neat, is watching the boat start to move forward at an incline (doesnt happen all the time), bow up, stern down, like its dogpaddling.

Are you sure? I've tried U505 mission, at about 230m the hull start getting damaged. Any shallower than 230m, nothing happens for no matter what (silent, stop, normal). Deeper than 230m, the boat getting damaged and flooding starts (not immediately visible) and I think
that is the reason for dull responce or even
sinking slowly...
