Is it just me? (GWX2 oddities)

A few things are bugging me at the moment in my new GWX2 career, and I wanted to know if others have noticed the same stuff happening...

First, dud and premature torps: I've never had so many! Much more than half of the magnetics I fire either detonate prematurely or not at all (they just go straight under the hull). Impacts also seem more inclined to dud than they used to be, although I still seem to be guaranteed a detonation at an impact angle of 90 degrees. This could be just bad luck.

My other problem is the buoyancy of the IXB I just "bought", which is incapable of maintaining a depth of less than 12.5m without momentum. The type VII has no such problem and will quite happily adjust its depth (slowly, of course) at zero speed by using the ballast. But the IXB, when stationary, just completely ignores my depth commands. If I tell it to surface it does so, so but just barely (if I stand on bridge in rough weather at zero speed I spend more time under the waves than over them - again this is unlike the VII which bobs around happily on a rough surface at zero speed). I sailed many IXB careers in GWX 1.03 and don't remember this problem. I'm just wondering... did this change in GWX2? Or did some mod I'm using break it? Maybe RWF or OLCE? I don't see how it could be either of those...

Or has it always been that way and I just never noticed before?
