Actually early war depth charges were about as powerful as they got. Later in the war the British produced the Mk X charge with almost 10 times the TNT - 2000 lbs vs 290 - but they determined that this only moved the guaranteed kill radius from 20 feet to about 30.

There was a depth charge mod long ago that reflected this, and allowed you to take a lengthy pounding and still survive. I think GWX does the same.
