So is that intended, and will it change in 1942 and later?
I know at war start British didn’t know U-Boats could dive that deep, but thought in 1941 they learned it...

The escorts in SH3 become a little tougher as the war goes on, but they're never much to worry about in any version. Yes, the ability to reload and fix damage can be done anytime anywhere with no consequences in my experience which is of course, not realistic in any sense.
You can be sunk at those depths later in the war. The one time in NYGM I was sunk by an escort was around 210 but I was trying to see the same thing you mention above; if I could be located. Until I tried to be located, there was no problem escaping escorts in a short time frame.
Whether a hedgehog hit me or a depth charge, I don't know but something did.
It was a direct hit whatever it was.
The weakness of escorts in SH3 is it's largest flaw imo. That is not meant to knock anyone's work as it's more of a basic game engine aspect than anything.
