Problems with the XXI Elektroboot

Frustrated with never surviving until 1944 in regular DiD campaigns I cheated and launched a XXI campaign in August 1944 today. I hadn't tried the XXI since stock, and couldn't wait for the thrill of doing a GWX 1.03 campaign with the magnificent beast. However, I've hit a snag.

The XXI has a serious speed and dive problem. On the surface I can do a maximum of 6-7 knots, submerged a measly 3 knots, and thats if I even manage to dive. The XXI almost refuses to dive, and only repeatedly jabbing the Crash Dive button willl eventually submerge the boat, gracefully and slow.... Normal Dive, Periscope or setting the depth manually does not submerge the boat at all. (It dives until only the tower is above the water.

I've seen and read countless posts about bugs with the XXI in the past, but AFAIK they are all fixed in GWX 1.03 no? My search-fu is failing miserably as well, I cant seem to find any of the relevant earlier posts, so if somebody has any tips/hints/help or can direct me to posts of relevance I'd be in your debt.
