I'll play devil's advocate here, compared to just about any other sub-sim I've played (Sub Command, SH 3 & 4, briefly SH5) this is much more hands-on when it come to actually "flying" the boat, whereas everything that I mentioned above, you just push the "Go to Periscope Depth" button and your sub will go there and hover. Cold waters is refreshing

.

What I find works is to give a bit of negative buoyancy and then take it back to neutral right quick. I find when I do this, when the depth wanders, it will always end up pulling you down rather than broaching and inviting gunfire.

Side note, was PD for all these US SSNs really 50 feet. The Sonalysts games all had it at 65 and I always just kind of took that as gospel.
