Alright so I am in an SS1 right? Laugh if you want that I am even bothering to drive one
instead of a lower ship but I figured I might as well practice.

So I am sailing along, already dived and made a strike and came up for air under a cloud.
I got to about half a tank of air and there was an enemy real close to me, so I dived and
went after him.

This is when it got weird. As I was sailing up to him I auto-surfaced. I checked my gauge
and I still had most of the half tank of air. He gets a good shot off on me before I can
dive again, but I do dive before he can fire again. That brief time on the surface
actually got me some more air (I have a great planesman for my level) so I dove again to
escape gunfire. Unfortunately before I sailed even a few inches it auto-surfaced again.

Anyone have any idea what is going on? This has happened once or twice before but I
counted it as too many button presses or just a bug. But this was different. I was not
smoking or anything, and had been sailing submerged quite happily for a little bit before
this.

AS he said he wasnt damaged, i think that is a straight bug.
he only dived for few seconds, you shouldnt be surfacing so fast.

It happened to me one time, at start of the game, i tried to
dive, and it autosurfaced just after it dived ( after 3-4 seconds).
Sad to say, i coudlnt do anything that game as i could only fight
surfaced as my dive mode was messed up. Obviously i wasnt damaged,
i was at full life at start of the battle.

I think you got a bug similar to what happened to me.
Luckily it does happen VERY VERY rarely.

To be more specific than Happy meal, you resurface when your dp is under a certain
amount.

I think if I remember correctly:

SS1-->3000dp or less
ss2-->4000dp or less
ss3-->5000dp or less
ss4-->5000dp or less

Something like that

^ not much help...

Check your damage. Less than 1/3rd damage (around there. Not exactly) and youll
auto surface every time.

ss1 and ss2 is where you hone the skills you'll need later on. Try everything and
dont fret getting sunk. Just hammer away game after game. There are no
shortcuts. Minor problems, like your "auto-rise" will soon be easy to fix, as you
gain knowledge. Read the manual, watch good ss4s in action, read about fighting in
the vertical and horizontal ( like aircraft do) . Ultimately, subs are closer to fighter
planes than they are to BB's.

Maybe your SS was mostly damaged, which would usually cause an auto-resurface.
