Sorry, I should have asked sooner: What mods are you running, if any? In the stock game the destroyers have "laser vision". They can see you wherever you are and drop with unnatural precision. Fortunately the game allows those parameters to be fiddled with, and there are mods (and supermods) which fix the problem so the escorts have realistic limitations to their sonar arrays, and effectively drop "blind". There are also mods (also included in the supermods) which change the depth charge blast radius to more realistic numbers. In GWX or NYGM you can be depth-charged for hours and still escape, whereas in the stock game once they get a good fix on you, your goose is pretty much cooked.
