Can dive planes get stuck

Had em get damaged all time..Got damaged this time, watched one DC hit right on the planes and I was heading up. However, with other damage my stern was pointed down.
Usually you have to use speed to keep from heading down, but even 1kt would send me up. If I didn't cut speed I would surface. Stop engines, head for the bottom stern first, speed up keep going up.

Escaped, but no doubt planes damaged, took over 70 seconds to crash dive in a Gato, but same thing...if I used any speed I would come up as if planes were stuck in going up position. When you hit P and watch the planes they would open a tad, but not fold out..not the glitch where they don't show, because they somewhat opened, hitting keys you could shut them and open them a tad.

No matter what, after all repairs my sub acted as if planes were stuck in up position, I could never hold even scope depth with any speed without surfacing. I don't ever recall a damage like this where any speed sent me to the surface. It didn't act like a bug, acted like plane up damage..

Docked and they repaired fine.
