Why would that be unrealistic? At the beginning of the patrol, and every chance they got during it they did re-trim the boat, but any time you're in a position to need to run silent you have likely
1) Fired torpedoes, and
2) Been consuming food, water and fuel without time for a new trim dive.
Both of which will leave the boat likely to either rise or sink. This can be easily countered with the pumps, but when 'Silent Running' the pumps have to be off. In World War Two it was nearly impossible to get a boat to hover without moving, especially in a combat situation. One of the beauties of good old
Aces Of the Deep was that after silent running for awhile the Chief would tell you "Captain, it is impossible to maintain depth without running the pumps".
I think the sinking is one of the
most realistic mods.

@Kpt Lehmann is it true? it doesn't occur in stock SH3? Okay let me play test this further.

Yes, it's true. In stock SH3 you can hover the boat forever.
