So far (mid-1941) it looks like my u-boat is perfectly safe from both depth charges and water pressure at 200 meter depth. I can run at flank speed, reload torpedoes, repair boat and do whaterver I want at this depth, when escorts are near.

So questions are:
1. Will it continue until the end of the game, or later depth charges would be able to hit me at such depth?
2. How realistic this situation is (I believe I have read that depth charges don't going gelow 150m are realistic, but what about u-boat staying at 200m depth as long as it has oxygen)?
