When you submerge by pushing the "P" key, the Depth Dial should show a slow decent to about 50 feet, then level off. The speed of decent is determined by how fast your moving. Flank Speed will put you to your ordered depth faster then 1/3rd.
My guess is that if you checked your depth, and your at the approximate 50ft mark, you need to raise the periscope with the "Page Up" key to it's fully extended height to look around. The "Page Down" will lower it.
If you hit the Crash Dive key "C" your going to the bottom. I do not know if there is a level off depth for the "C" key, but after about 120 ft, I will level the boat by putting the mouse pointer on the Depth Dial and click on the depth I want, say 130 or so. Don't use the "A" key which will cause the game to abort. We 're all hopeful a new patch will fix that bug, for now, there is a workaround found at the "List of Mods" that will fix that problem.
