It makes sense when you are submerged during the day, or when weather is suboptimal, but else all those stop-and-goes would be a risk their electric engines, wouldn't they?

I don't know if doing such in real life would have had any affects on the mechanical/electrical side of things.
But I have a hard time believing any u-boat did such (if at all) at the frequency some players do. Some players also listen to the phones themselves which of course wasn't a commander's routine but everyone is free to play the game as they see fit.
