Thus, the deeper you are, the closer you can be to the escort without being detected, as his hydrophone cone may be overshooting you.

It is imperfect, and as far as I know, the diagram was illustrative, not definitive, but it seems to work. As you have probably noted yourself, 150 meters may be 3 times as deep as 50 meters, but it's 10 times safer.
Sorry I missed this first time around.



The stock game doesn't represent this, but they made it adjustable, so GWX does.

Basically by the time he's actually dropping depth charges, he can't actually hear you anymore.
