Agreed.
I frequently use TC to clear the area after an attack, but if I'm actively being depth charged, it's best to keep it at 1 or maybe 4 or 8 (if they don't know what they're doing).
The key is using your hydrophones and trying to keep the boat at a proper profile to the attacking escorts.... if you're running at 32 you might get caught broadside.
Late war, half the battle is evading the first escort before the other escorts can get there to join the hunt. When you've got the one pinging you while another two make DC runs, you're into some trouble.
That being said.... I strongly advise against using TC if you happen to get jumped by a Hunter-Killer group.
With run of the mill escorts its not a big deal.... but HK's are lean and mean.
