My vote's with you as well, I've only gone to around 180 in the VIIC avoiding those dang C-Class destroyers...
No worries for you. German submarines were constructed for 90m(!!!!) in a type VII.
Regulations required for 2,5 times construction safety: -> 90m x 2,5 = 225m minimum depth from factory...
Most ship yards produced with the promise to hold the limit with a little more safety (it was the production culture) ...

An now read more about the "construction" depth of a VIIC/41 or a XXI... (2,5 safetey again)

Of course for the "new" XXI they learend later from mistakes like plastic steel deformation of special parts in 180m, but these were clearly identified as mistakes.

PS: My most used sub ist VIIB or VIIC and I *always* take it down to 210m as my standard evasion manouver. When those nasty RN tin can become nasty I go deeper, just to make sure... 230... is the next level of making my nervous
