RSRD depth charge question?

Are IJN depth charges historically accurate in RSRD as in they cant detonate really deep.I am in Feb 1944 and adfter several depth charges and slipping to 580-620 feet in a Balao, none have came close, sounds like they are 100 feet or so above me(external cam off so just listen to them, EAX sound mod is great)

Wondering if it's this OR a tactic I use that has the DD's fooled.When they are closing after an attack etc I go loud and order a dive to 450 feet, once under a layer I go to silent running and 2 knots, maybe some port or starboard ruder, depends.When they roar overhead and drop, I go ahead flank and order a hard dive to 600 feet, using the DD's engines overhead for masking my noise.After it fades and Im going down fast, I go to all stop for one minute then throw on speed and level out.Charges go boom around 450 feet where I was when they pinged me last before they dropped but by them am around 540-560 feet and going down.

Now in the follow ups, they are pinging, even on short scale , follow me fairly well for a few minutes, dropping like crazy but they all detonate well above, no even close while I am at 580 or 600 feet as I was a little while ago.This has happened multiple times, not complaining, I like the historical accuracy because as far as I could tel the IJN did not have charges that could be set to explode that deep.Just curious if its a setting or the tactic confuses the AI.
