In real life, from the initial development of ASDIC to 1943, ASDIC was only able to determine
slant range to target. as the destroyer neared to within a few hundred yards of the target, they could develop an
estimate of depth.
From 1943 onwards, ASDIC had been developed to include depth finders. The type 147 ASDIC and another device called the "Q attachment" only served to allow the attacking destroyer to determine the depth of the u-boat with
almost certainty
While ASDIC was never developed during the war years to know the exact depth of the U-Boat, it was substantially developed by early 1943 to provide the depth of the u-boat to within a reasonable margin of error.
In GWX... they know your depth pretty much exactly.
