I agree, that is the prudent thing to do. But how you play the game is how
you play the game. If Zosimus' in-game persona is more aggressive, or less prudent, than yours or mine, that's OK too.
BTW, I have just completed a small experiment, using GWX3:
U-556
27 May, 1941
North Atlantic
0900 Ordered flank speed. Ordered 150 m.
0915 Level at depth. Ordered 3 kts.
1015 Depth 150 m (per command room gauge). Ordered 2 kts
1115 Depth 150 m. Ordered Ahead Slow on ER telegraph.
1215 Depth 150 m. Ordered Silent Running.
1315 Depth 150 m.
Exited mission
During the entire test, the command room deep gauge did not move by as much as 1 meter up or down. Since I used time compression (TC 64), I did not monitor the gauge continuously. Time at accelerated TC was spent at the Nav chart screen. The command room gauge was checked at the hour mark only, at TC 1. The GUI gauge at the Nav chart screen did not vary either, but it is smaller and harder to read accurately.
