stopping the U-boat is not practical in combat and should not be possible in the sim without drifting

thats not exactly true finchow, you here and see the ai dd's stop, shut down all engines, drift and listen

and in real life, even the infantry takes many listening halts
in a movement to contact, or recon and combat patrols

and when the u-boats submerged, and its engines stop, it does drift for awhile, then inertia will take over and stop the boats drifting

in calm seas, i dont see any reason why the planesmen cannot keep the boat level

another thing subs had to maintain level where trim ballast, these were smaller tanks, that could let water out and air in to trim the boats depth in small increments, i never heard of subs having trouble staying at depth, unless they where very deep, and the water pressure pushed them deeper, but then i can only read so much.
sorry my answer is in the quote, i hit the wrong key,and i cant correct it now.
