While playing hide'n'seek with a handul of rather unfriendly British destroyers, I got to wondering if there's a maximum depth the charges can go before either premature detonation or implosion. I was in far deeper waters than my u-boat can go so I'm curious if I was to hide out at, say, >150 would I be out of effective range where I could sit silently until the Brits got tired? How accurately are depth charges modelled in SH3 (and GWX) in regard to maximum depth?
