So, the conclusion is that it's impossible (except with a modification of the hardcode) to prevent the DC to explode above a minimal depth, or to force them to explode past a maximum depth...
The only way to simulate a safe zone past a certain depth is to make the hydrophone and asdic of an attacking ship incapable of detecting you past this depth.  |
<shrug> Maybe that is how they addressed the 150 setting, don't know/can't remember. Since I haven't played the game on a regular basis in years due to it's still glaring problems and errors, not even an issue for me anyway.
