The order for a large change from periscope depth to 250 ft was first time had made such a maneuver since the previous dc attack, had only made trim dives since.
I don't mind the broaching, or possibility of it happening, adds to the realism and challenge of the sim, was just unexpected.

Yea, I loved that part of his mod, tho I don't think I ever broached by setting depth deeper...if that's what you're saying. I remember once, probably like Wahoo, except later war I surfaced but sank back down due to flooding, but finally got surfaced, but with flooding I was riding way low and could only make about 10 knts full speed. I would not dare dive, did survive a few air attacks and got back to port in the Philippines ...99% damage. I can recall only doing that twice that I played.
