We have tested shallow mod, it’s working (kind of) in shallow waters but destroyers are loosing their nice detection when it comes up to deep depth...

Depending on what depth your talking about that may be something that has been around since release.
Of course, there are many other reasons why an escort could lose detection too not the least of which is the "Lost contact time" setting in sim.cfg or the temp layers modeled in SH3 commander.

Thank you guys for the quick and precise feedback.

I may actually need more time under the sea to ''git gud''

Just starting know using manual targeting and while it's not working always out its still a blast.

I had a destroyer chase me for hours long after the convoy and other destroyers had disappeared out of the atmosphere, it exhausted all of it's depth charges and continued just buzzing me in a figure of 8 pattern.

I tried the only thing I could think of to get rid of it, I went up to 18m depth, waited for the destroyer to pass over the top of me, quickly went to periscope depth and fired a single torpedo into it's turning arch and managed to destroy it.
