At least if it's shallow you can sit on the bottom and maybe patch things up and surface again later. In deep water you will never fix things before you hit crush depth. In SH5+WoS, past 1942 you had better never be detected or you are done for. Best bet is to lob torpedoes at convoys from 5000 meters from the outer pickets using steam FATs and hope for a hit either directly or from the ladder program.

This sounds kinda disappointing. One of the best moments of SH3 was going as deep as possible and avoiding escorts with depth charges blowing up everywhere around you. The game forcing you to stay in shallow waters seems very gamey and not very realistic to me.
