Good point and worthy of discussion in the mod forums. Launching torpedos should use compressed air.
Surfacing should most definatly use compressed air if your not moving foward with your E motors.
The argument there is the sub is at neutral boyancancy so using the hydroplanes should be sufficent until you break surface. At which point you'd need to blow the tanks dry to get the deck out of the water. If your standing still then you'd need positive boyance to rise. That means blowing some water out of the ballast tanks.
