'P' key, always. I never use anything else. As I say, I'm going to do some testing to see if it's just the Type IX. And then I'll reload the game once again, and test some more.


Of course I use Commander. I consider it more important than any supermod. At this stage of the war I have malfunctions enabled, but not sabotage, based on the idea that saboteurs in German ports in 1939 were unlikely. I'll reload that career first and see what happens. Oh, and as for "a month into the patrol", this was the first time I actually took the boat under. Silly me, not doing a test dive every day.

We'll see what happens. Meanwhile I was motivated to do a little research on August 19 patrols and their outcomes, for which I started another thread.

It happens if you have a broken hydroplane... maybe a malfunction.
I have a type IXB but malfunctions I leave disabled.
Had a similar problem after being damaged from something I dont remember.
`Das boot`needed to run at 4-5knt to keep it`s depth but still the trim showed a downed aft. There was no flooding anymore.

Anyway... first dive? Did you submit your boat to sea trials? Test max depth, underwater range and buoyance after reaching an area deep enough !

Try start a new patrol and perform some tests before the action time
