I've never notice any cheating with the destroyers depth charges.

I remember an occasion where I had 3 destroyers trying to get me and I had no outside camera enabled. I was looking through the observation periscope at about 400 foot depth. Yeah, I know, not possible to raise scope at such depths. But I was looking upwards at one destroyer dropping charges that went off real shallow and another dropping charges that sank to about 100 or so feet above me and went off. I was below the thermal layer and maneuvering around to avoid charges. I couldn't go any deeper (crush depth and all). The third destroyer was busy avoiding colliding with the other destroyers and just burning up gas. I have also seen charges that were set too deep because I was coming up to give them something out the aft end of my boat.
