Is there a maximum depth for depth charges?

good luck in your escape from the attack... you can outlast them - it can be done

In the GWX Single Missions, I purposely attract destroyers to practice evasion.

I have a score card somewhere...

Well, i would outlast them if that damn patrol didnt show up...
After 2 real life hours, about 100-120km away from the place i attacked the convoy after countless depth charges from 2 DDs (Flower Class and Black Swan Class if i remember right) another DD showed up. Couldnt do much nor go at deep water cause a single DC blew off a considerable chunk of my bow torpedo room. -48% integrity in a single DC.

Ultimatelly, another DC got me and my boot was crushed.
I dont know why but i decided not to D.I.D. this, this time.

Another factor that hasn't been brought up. there are SIMULATED thermal layers implemented in the game, if you are lucky enough to get under one,(they are at random depths) then the escorts won't hear you no matter what you are doing. Unfortunately you will have a hard time knowing when that is. American submarines had a device that measured sea temperature. It was called a Bathythermograph-"A device to record sea temperature's and submarine depth, and to show any abrupt temperature change or gradient". It gave american sub skipper's the advantage of knowing when they passed under a thermal layer.

I have often wondered why the Germans didn't come up with something similar?

But they CAN ping me, cant they?
How is it possible for a thermal layer to absorb such noise?

ONLY if you use SH3Cmdr.
