Advanced sub maneuvering

Can anyone share the experience on how to be more efficient in this two situations:

1. The quickest way to stop the submarine. I apply full back and when the speed approaches 0, I apply full stop and that is completly ok, but the thing is that I almost always miss that particular moment when I should apply full stop and then submarine starts going backwards a little bit (1 knot or so) so then I apply forward and so on...

Basically that's it but maybe you should also watch engine RPM gauge while applying emer. backward... You can also manually use ruder and dive planes controls to add more drag to the sub...

I use slow ahead (1) with ordering new course but it seems to me that maybe there is some quicker way to do this. Sometimes I really want to quickly rotate my sub without moving forward and position it for 90 degree attack so I don't miss the "window" for clean hit.

Thanks!

Hmmm, you can't turn without forward motion...
