Can anyone confirm this? Or am I the only one testing this mod/trying to find out good parameters

I'm definitely not doubting what you're saying, but this is a mod that will need extensive testing by a large number of players before we'll have some verifyable stats as there are so many variables that effect how DDs hunt.
The parameters you set would have created a bold effect that was 10km wide for an hour and the escorts
could have been dropping into that 10km bubble (which just happened to be on top of you) or maybe the bubble was just too wide, watering down the effect? I'm assuming that you were using your usual avoidance procedures (depth and direction changes) and the DDs were still tracking you.
When I've used TDWs stock settings and been hunted by DDs they have tended to drop depth charges behind me, where they originally dropped them. I'm assuming that they have detected the bold effect of their first drop and then continue to hammer the same area creating further bold effects.
I'm happy that the mod is working for me but will admit that there is a possibility that it is just a psychological advantage. As far as I'm concerned, even a psychological advantage is an advantage and given that TDWs other mods do exactly what they say on the tin I've got no reason to doubt this one.
I'm not conducting bespoke testing as I'm just trying to enjoy my career but I'll keep reporting in as I find other occasions where this mod either works or doesn't.
