SH4 deals with that occurring... only fix I recall of, was in completing mission objective & if satisfied with your patrol, was to then just basically head back to base & dock.
On starting the next patrol, the dials would all be back to acting... normal.
Can't swear to it, but... seem to recall propbeanie figuring it was related to some ship or sub, not being worked right in the details for it.. or was it a couple of them. In that instance on FotRS, believe it was in regard to a couple of IJN subs... that had a part, in causing this issue.
propbeanie can jump in here & reconfirm this... if they have time to.
