I'm ~ 6 months into the war in a type VIIB. All going well, put 4 fish into a large cargo (wanted to be sure) and hit a tramp steamer with aft torp and got her right in the back end so she was dead stop.

Decided to dive to 100 m to avoid escorts. 100m is the yellow line. Then decided to go 110 m. But for some reason, the sub ascended and would not go to 110m. I hit the D key and she dove. I then hit 110 m on the depth meter and she started to ascend again. Bow planes on the bridge instrument were full dive position. At this point, I was ready to surface anyway and finish off the tramp steamer so I didn't hang around to experiment.

I haven't upgraded to 1.02 yet as I'm still out on patrol.

Anyone else have this happen?
