Not all of the water is blown out of the ballast tanks when the sub first surfaces in RL. The subs I was on had a High Pressure blower to blow out the residual water in the ballast tanks. It does take about 20 minutes in RL to get all of the water out of the tanks. So this might have been factored into the game, but I don't know for sure.

edit: That should have said a "Low" Pressure blower, not "High" Pressure Blower.
