SimNut,
LaikaFatBum is on the right track. The ordered speed is specified in the NSS_UboatName.cfg under [EngineProperties] and is a % value of the maximum speed of Ahead Flank.

If submerged at ahead slow in 5mps winds you travel at 2knots then at 15 mps that may result in a speed of 1+ knots. This is the way that all ships work in the real world.

To over come this Captains will order either a certain RPM to achieve a known speed or specify the knot speed.

It is only the speed that you need to adjust which is not an issue and your crew will do the rest such as maintain periscope depth with out any further input.

I hope this helps you understand the system better.
