How fast are you travelling when you make changes in course and depth? Any ship will have its best turn rate at maximum speed and its worst when going slow. If you're silent running at 1 knot don't expect any changes to take place any time this week.

Look under Section 5c of this Translation of the Book The British Captured along with Enigma and an Entire U-Boat. You will see the Actual Values of Rate of Turn and Speeds at which they can turn at the Said Rate. http://www.uboatarchive.net/Manual/Manual.htm

The "automatic" use of 40-degree rudder

i dont know how better could be but i think when ship turns shouldnt be an angule of more than 30º,when ships turns always make it on phisical limit, something you should not use if you dont want break it.
