Not that hard to work out how logical this is:
Depth showing 60ft (PD set), and the top of the scope is occasionally dunking whenever I'm at PD, so at 160ft there is 100ft of water above the top of your scope - give or take a foot or so. The only ships with a keel 100ft below the surface are other submarines and ships in the process of sinking.
If the guy is stopped he isn't going to run into nets, booms, or mines - and if he's sitting at 160ft he shouldn't be getting bombed by aeroplanes. That leaves random DC drops, and I'd discount that too except I've been DC'd when sitting doing nothing at depth when I'll guarantee the only detection opportunity would be an oil leak. (Which, as I'd not yet been in combat, I ought not to have....) My nasty suspicion is that SOMETIMES Japanese escorts get to 'see' you no matter what you are doing.... there's also a 'random damage' bug that defies description - submerged at 160ft, nowhere near an enemy ship, suddenly my deck gun is damaged - presumably it's some special non-waterproof version :hmm:
Looks more like a bug to me.
