I use blow ballast all the time when surfacing and I saw that bug only once...It's the same for diveing, use GUI buttons...
Ok, I'll try using the GUI instead, if I do (I'm SO used to keys by now) I'll report back if I notice a difference.

Small side effect from one of the patches but your commands are accepted correctly, works much better with SH3 interface...
Ah, yeah I figured that by now, it was just confusing the first time it happened.

From the RPM inertia patch which deals with unrealistic sporty sub and AI unit performances, very stupid feature of all SH game IMO.
I never liked the "Ferrari" subs and was happy to see that this was addressed. Most of the time it works correctly, but once or twice (when I reported it), it didn't and kept running/moving for minutes.
However, the Diesels should be able to stop in a matter of seconds though, from what I know about them.

There is a patch for that too but it seems it doesn't work...
I disabled it and it seems to work for the drops - but not always for whatever reason. I do get them a lot less and if they appear, I just dive the cam underwater and that 'cleans' the lens.

0 wind speed patch...Maybe it's better to disable this patch...
Yeah I figured by now that this might be intended and I highly welcome it. Calm waters are calm waters - I always hated the over-modeled bobbing around in SH5, like in the U-Boat bunker. I just thought it is a bug since vanilla SH never did that.

- Known bug, AI subs could be really strange...
Copy that.

For example, I ordered a crash dive, it was listed in the message box bottom right, I heard the alarm bell etc... but the boat just never dived?

That delay simulate crew entering the sub and without it SH5 subs will crashdive in less than 15s. You can edit time delays via TDW options file editor...
Ah ok, that's interesting!

Not really , check readme documentation of Real U-boat performace and Reworked Morale and Abilities v.1.1 mods...
Will check them out thanks.
Regarding the 1WO.
Yes, he lost his eye but my point comes from a historical/realistic background. A watch officer (or actually any crew member aboard a sub) with just one eye would have never-ever served on a U-Boat.
I know, I know, Ubi thought they are so super original by making him a friend or relative to Dönitz (oh come on!) and so he gets the extra sausage but that is just plain silly and from all I know about Dönitz, he would have never been "that guy".
That is why I was surprised to find this uhm "feature" in any mod at all.

Are there compatible crew skin mods maybe?

Unfortunately not (yet)...German menu.txt is not compatible...
Ok, no big deal though. By now, I'm used to English text on German boats.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer my issues/questions, much appreciated!
