So, my boat was practically at surface but i ran like submerged? So what is the idea to run decks awash?
In GWX and some of the other major supermods, the U-boats are set up so that you can put the boat low in the water without completely submerging, you must be running a different version to us, because in stock you couldn't do that.

In the main game folder, data then submarine, you'll see folders like... NSS_Uboat2A, NSS_Uboat7c
and so forth... I believe that the GWX team altered the cfg files in there so that the Uboat could run decks awash. Because in stock the Boat thinks anything less than its standard surface trim and its underwater.
