Just my humble, Hans.
When you say side to side... do you mean the slower rocking motion? The rocking motion has nothing to do with this mod. It's the boat's center of gravity. This is most obvious when rocking back and forth on the surface in the waves, But it also rocks back and forth underwater when being depth charged. I think that the more obvious surface rocking motion was a feature release in GWX. If you want less rocking action, you need to tighten down each u-boats center of gravity movement. But by doing this, you will have less wave rocking motion on the surface.

If you are talking about the really fast and violent screen shakes when being depth charged... think about this- what do you think the inside of your u-boat and your head would look like if a 250 lb depth charge exploded 5 or 10 meters from your u-boat in real life? Would you be able to see straight or even stand from the blast concussion and shock wave? Probably not. And from all of the u-boat stories I have read, many times they described how their boat would literally 'jump' when being depth charged or bombed underwater. Just something to think about.
