maintain depth

[Krauter]

This makes absolutely no sense..

Yes the Submarine is like an Airplane with the Diveplanes in the sense that they "drive" the Submarine to a lower depth. Just as an Aircrafts Ailerons, Rudder and Elevators help it achieve its altitude.

The difference between a Submarine and an Aircraft though is that the Aircraft needs to be constantly moving at a certain speed and angle of attack to keep flight.

The submarine needs lower speeds (obviously it cannot reach the same speeds as an aircraft but in perspective). And has the advantage of buoyancy. If a submarine is badly trimmed and has negative or positive trim then it will have to keep up a higher speed and make more use of its dive planes.. if it has neutral buoyancy then all it needs to do is maintain steerageway so that the helm does not lose control..

I have the same bug, and I have UHS installed but my issue is if I order 150M I actually only get down to 135M, is this correct?

They don't only drive it to a lower depth. when the dive plates is angled so that the u-boat is going to surface, it will keep "fighting" against pressure IF you have set the u-boat to a specific speed.

There comes a depth when the u-boat cannot handle anymore depth and needs speed to compensate for it. This is where you're mistaken.

It's not a submarine btw, it's a u-boat.

It doesnt need to constantly keep moving to keep flight. This is where you are mistaken. A piper cub can fly with zero velocity. It's called velocity, not speed btw. You seem to misunderstand the principle of flight.

When you angle the u-boat upwards, you decrease the surface of the u-boat and therefore lowers the water pressure from above by huge numbers.
