I still have a joy with vanilla SH3. Convoy escorts/destroyers are pictured quite well. Realistic behavior in my opinion. In RL, in early war, British did not even know that U-boats can go that deep and had depth charges with possible maximum depth setting of only 91 m.

The worst enemies of U-boats were aircrafts and hunter-killer groups, not convoy escorts. The later had a job to protect ships in convoy, not to hunt one sub for hours thus giving the opportunity for other subs to destroy the convoy.

In SH2, escorts/DDs were too tough in this respect and I think that SH3 devs did quite a decent job in getting this right.
