For that to occur you would first have to take depth charge damage.
It must have really sucked to be a real life U-boat commander... being depth charged for HOURS, with compressed air slowly bleeding away to maintain trim to fight negative bouyancy as the bilges get heavier bit by bit... drifting deeper and deeper... slowly... hull groaning louder and louder... and having to decide to run the electrics at a higher RPM to maintain depth.... knowing that the enemy above will likely hear him...
40 minutes you say? The other night it took me several hours real time to sneak away from an escort in very similar circumstances to yours during my third patrol in my current career.
Even if this is viewed as a bug... I don't see any motivation to 'fix' it.
If you can't get away from an escort in GWX... it is ultimately because you put yourself into an inescapable situation.
