Whenever I am underwater and ask for periscope depth the conning tower breaches the surface.The boat doesn't respond to depth changes very quickly. When I manually click on the depth dial to try to lower the tower beneath the waves, it takes a very long time for this to happen. The Type II handles a lot different to a Type VII or a IX. I thought it would handle like a dream, not like a wet sponge!
Is this usual for a Type II or is it a bug with the periscope depth?
