I'm not sure why this would be a problem. In real life all ships leak. A submarine must keep moving to maintain depth. As far back as Aces Of The Deep (1994) you could only maintain silent running for a certain amount of time before the Chief would tell you "We can't maintain depth without running the pumps!" One of the complaints about SH3 was that the boat could "hover", sitting still without sinking. The NYGM supermod fixed it so the boat would sink at 2 knots or less, and everyone cheered because that was more realistic.

Now it appears that SH5, or one its mods, has that built in, and people don't like it. The old saying is true, you can't please everyone.
