We could also make them to start laying smoke during depth-charge runs, when they are about on top of the estimated U-boat position, but I am not sure that such a tactic would make any sense.

Even having them is great, anything else is a plus. I wouldn't consider no screen for a submerged sub a problem.
I know smoke was a common surface battle tactic. Any idea how often it was even used against subs ?
