As one that edited all my escorts to be 3 and 4 crew ratings from the beginning I find that the better equipment on escorts makes them more effective as the war progresses anyway. Such that by mid 1943 if 2 4 rated escorts are on you it is impossible to escape. I have all the mods like AI sensors, sonar etc.
Now I have re-edited all the convoys and hunter killer groups so they only have one 4 rated possible. They are still very deadly late war anyway.
The fact they seem to always drop DCes for the right depth is not right.
In the first couple years the Germans were diving way lower than the DCes and we simply can not do the same thing.
But, how does the game decide what depth for them to explode? What would make them change to another? The only thing happening is out boat so that is their reference.
Still they should at least go off at the depth setting when they are dropped, which they don't.
If you are at 220meters and hear DCes in the water then go to flank and drop to 230 matters, that is where the DCes detonate.
Ironically the DCes can not detonate shallow enough if you are at periscope depth meaning you are safer there than diving deep, unless they have hedge hogs! I actually watched as they sailed right for me and hit the water in front of the bridge. I clicked the control room and one second later all the men vanished, I clicked crew and they were all red.
