Tube door malfunctions, and depth control in bad weather

I always open tube doors before I fire. I do this by using the drop down torpedo control panel in the periscope/UZO view. I select each tube and hit Q.

Sometimes the game makes the tube opening sound, sometimes it doesn't. However, even when the sound is made, usually only 1 tube per target (I always use 2) is actually open by the time I fire.

Naturally, I don't have time to go to external view and confirm that my doors are open, so it's quite annoying to hit the fire button, then end up waiting 4 seconds as the tube floods and the door opens.

I always have crew in the torpedo room. Whether i'm running silently or not, or whether the boat is moving or not, seems to have no bearing on the situtation. Have other people had this problem?

The other thing that bugs me is how my boat constantly drops well below the surface every time a wave passes over during stormy weather. Every time, my diesel engines switch off, meaning sometimes I can't make much headway. It's also annoying to hear "Current depth 10 meters" constantly, and to stand on the bridge while underwater.

Is there any way to get my boat to stop doing this? Anything I can modify? I'm using GWX 1.01.
