Default Surface Depth, Heavy Seas, Being swept off the Conning Tower

i cannot find the proper post to reply to, so please forgive me.

there was a minor discussion not long ago about being swept off the conning tower during tough weather and it was suggested that changing the Surface Depth might help.

i tried a deeper setting and the results were no better than standard depth.
then i tried a shallower setting and the results are much better.
6 m for a Balao seems to keep everyone in place during a 15 m/s wind.
rolling from the additional exposed freeboard does not seem to be a problem for either the crew or handling the boat and we do not seem to be detected any more than we usually do.
