What do you think about this ?

I don't know. I think this is a case of whatever makes you happy.

From what I've read, most subs sunk by DC's, were KO'd by accumulated damage rather than by a few lucky hits.

How would anyone know that? The attacking surface ships would have no way of knowing how close any of their depth charges came to the sub, nor how many did what damage. If the sub was sunk then the guys inside aren't around to say what happened inside.

The USN dropped DC's by their subs at periscope depth to "indoctrinate" their crews. This was done at 200 and 100yd distances.

??? The only thing I remember reading about that said that they dropped them at least half-a-mile away. That was a long time ago, and I could be misremembering, but I would think that dropping them that close would be asking for trouble.
