The Destroyers' AI have different ratings. Some are Elite, some are Veteran and some are Green (there are others, I think, but I don't know what they are). Yes, they seem to be a little too accurate. As I said, there is a mod that reduces the blast radius (which is also far too great) and the sonar capabilities, so they lose contact before they drop. Try these and I guarantee you will get blasted for hours and still have a chance to escape.
Another real-world problem for the destroyers was that depth-charges came with precise settings-50ft, 100ft, 150ft etc., with no allowance for in-between. They also at first had fairly shallow maximum depth settings.
Also, Wulfmann, you say that evading a 5-1/2 hour attack by changing course and speed is not historically accurate. Why not? Then you say one thing real u-boats did was stand still. Except for a couple which confused enemy sonar by lying on a fairly shallow bottom, standing still was one thing they emphatically did NOT do. Where did you read that?
As I said, you can withstand all day long attacks with the 'Real DC' mod.
