That detonation depth value would be more useful if it was a max depth and any DC that gets to that value blows up, aimed deeper or not.

Then we could set early war DCs for 60m, later type 95s for 90m, and let the Type 2 DCs (used in 1943+) go really deep.

While that would make play much easier in deep water, there is rather a lot of the SH4 world where 90m+ would be a luxury.

As I said, there are other factors involved. For example, allied escorts won't drop DCs deeper than 100m till the start of 42 (U-570 was captured in August 41 and starting from September it was used in British service as HMS Graph).
