How long after DC explosions am I masked?

When there are a couple of DC going off nearby, how long can I ´make noise´ after the last explosion? Or do I have to go silent as soon as the last DC explodes?

good question, in real it can take up to ten minuts or more.
I have a bad feeling that in SH it is instant..

Speaking of dc... can anyone actually CONFIRM SH3 simulating noise by depth charges? I´ve never actually figured it out myself, and I don´t really trust SH3 on this point because when I hear depth charges it´s only some seconds and I don´t even know how close they are (unless my boat is shaken, of course)...

You can have short bursts of the engine after the DC explosions. I guess a few seconds should do (not more than a minute though)

There's nfw this is properly modeled in SH3. You have a few seconds and that's it. And you're lucky if you have that much.

I give the engines a burst of speed during the explosions but when they stop I shut 'em down. I don't trust the devs at SH3 either, I'm pretty darn certain this isn't modeled at all. Shame, really.

If the DD's can hear me and come steaming directly towards my position while I'm directly under a convoy, or behind a piece of land, I doubt that depth charges will mask my engine noise either.
