Does GWX2 simulate the concept of a Uboat's "trim"?

Ok. so U94 was approching a large convoy but was detected by the escorts, my fault for trying to take the boat in on the surface at midnight when it wasn't pitch black, it still looked like daytime infact but i was hoping the fog would mask my appraoch, never mind.

Anyway, when I was diving down, my boat appeared to be "rear end" heavy, I had no flooding damage or excess water in the boat, but my CE could not maintain the boat at the depth I required. I had the boat sink down to 240mtrs (yes, the hull held together to my amazment

) before i increased engine speed to gain some control of the boat.

That was the only way I my CE was able to hold the boat then when I ordered us upto 200mtrs. If I ran the engines at slow, to 2knts, the rear of the boat seemed to pull us back down.

My only theory is that the trim on my boat was screwed up which is my I couldn't keep her level without a proper 5 knots or so.

Anyone know about this?
