Is this truly modeled in the game and what proof do you have?

...or is it just the AI having trouble moving around and getting over you while you try to escape? (distance and probability).

I have no idea if it is modeled into the game, it's my opinion the latter is the case though, as that is why I hide under convoys...I've never had a DD start dropping charges near me while lurking under a nice tubby C3...and they sure have troubles coming after you if there's a lot of traffic in their way.

That doesn't mean getting depth charged while under a convoy can't or doesn't happen though, just has never happened to me, maybe others have more info?
