(You'll know when you have been in this cone because your pinging is usually followed by a spot-on deptch charge run and screaming crew members.)

This basicly adds up to multiple escorts taking turns depth charging you with a good degree of accuracy as far as depth goes. You will have less of a chance at escaping once multiple escorts arrive on scene because you can't be in multiple blind spots at once.

Problem is that there are not just depth charges, but hedgehog as well, which is a lot harder to dodge, as you get no warning (aside from the event camera if that is enabled) and the charges sink much faster. Even in a XXI things get really ugly once you have multiple hedgehog armed escorts coming after you.
