to blow itself up? if it goes up at 100m or 150m, will it waste its host sub? I dont think so! especially if you think Depth charges are barely effective in 50m?

Anyway aint a destroyer at 100m not more deadly?? I believe a pursuing destroyer could be hit easily with a stern torpedo as it never goes farther than a 150m perimeter in a bomb run..

I still wonder why 300m? and not 200m or 100m? That should have a better explanation than damaging the sub
