[REL] Depth Charge noise mod

I like your premise, however, following the sinking of the Courageous, Kptlt. Otto Schuhart - U29 - was depth charged for 4 hours by four DDs, until they ran out of depth charges and then just wandered home. He states his depth was 180 meters, so, this might not be as reliable a tactic as you think.
Granted, 1939, Type VIIA, no albrecht and I suspect the depth charges were a fraction less damaging at that point in the war (Something I should research).
Again, I really like your premise. Food for thought and discussion.
