Nicely written tale! I'd say head home UNLESS - you executed a crash dive when you were under attack by the planes and then aborted it during the dive. If you don't let the crash dive go down to its 60m and then level off, the dive planes remain locked in the down position and you tend to sink at low speeds. This used to be a bug, and I wondered if it might have been fixed by all the modding, but I think I had the same issue yesterday - crash dive, then set a shallower depth while diving, and then sink slowly thereafter. The solution is to execute another crash dive and let it run to completion. Can anyone else confirm if this is the case?
