Theres one thing that bugs me with SH3 in this regard, and because of it, i feel its impossible to make an accurate "depth charge experience". That being that, i have yet to find a way, or hear of a way to make depth charges foreably detonate by a designated depth. Some Depth charges coudlnt go as deep as the uboats could. So while the uboat in question had great difficulty breaking contact, (late war, often it being a case of the DD/DE getting impatient and leaving after 36 horus), they uboat was able to get UNDER the depth charge barrage. YOu can't do that in SH3 unless you make the boat capable of diving under the 300 meter barrier that depth charges cannot pass, but even then you should feel the shockwave of the depth charges and you won't.
