The randomisation occurs whenever "Launch SH3!" is pressed. It means that yes, if you launch SH3 and you're in a VIIC but then upgrade to a VIIC/41 in SH3 before starting your patrol, your crush depth may reflect that of the VIIC, not the VIIC/41 (ie 50m less). But remember, this is the case now with SH3 - regardless of what variant of VIIC you are in, the crush depth remains the same (unless you have been using SH3Cmdr, which has always corrected the VIIC/41 crush depth).
However, this is only an issue where you upgrade
within the VIIC class - ie VIIC->VIIC/41->VIIC/42 -
after you launch SH3 via SH3Cmdr. It is not a problem if you upgrade a VIIB to a VIIC, an IIA to a IXB, or even an IXC to an IXC/40, which will always use the correct crush depth base.
Apart from the randomisation aspect, the main advantage is that when you are in your VIIC/41 or VIIC/42 you'll always get the correct base crush depth, and not the standard VIIC one.
Anyway, you cannot effectively adjust the value at any other time.
Note that in SH3Cmdr you can adjust the randomisation range and if you set both Upper and Lower to 1, you can remove randomisation of the depth altogether. As with eveything else, the data file is fully user configurable.
