I still mising something in this topic. Ok lets say DD was after you constantly while your depth was 200 meters. Was the DD pinging you ?

You see it is not necessary that DD has to ping you in order to throw his DC right onto your bridge. Historically yes they had to ping you to get the depth and pitch of your u-boat.
BUT in SH3 it is enough for DD to hear you on his passive sonar and DC will come straight down at you even without pinging.

So in other words you should be dead by now or the DD had to be long gone by the time you woke up.

But if he ran out of depth charges it is explainable

However if you maintained silent running and is such depth the DD had to let you go if there was no ping.
