I did a few missions with your mod installed.

First the Curageous.
In spite of repeatedly surfacing, I couldn't get the Escorts to drop a single depthcharge. Maybe it had to do with them being Black Swan Frigates.
When I excited I saw the mission takes place 1939.

The I tried the U505 mission (1944)
As soon as I order flank escorts detected me at roughly periscope depth and start pinging me like mad.
In the ensuing pounding I was hit by Hedgehog twice and still kept running. Lots of damage, but still could be fixed. Boat in control all the time in spite of leaks.
Then all of a sudden - kaboom - sudden death.

I tried the Malta mission as well (1942)
Let make it short. I was depthcharged and got damaged too. Going down to 175m and silent running I was able to escape.

Conclusion. Pretty good, with the exception of the Black Swans not attacking when I'm submerged, but this might have other reasons.

Remark. I have never played that early so maybe the early war Escorts are sometimes not even dropping depthcharges, dont know.
