A compromise could be this one (with H=hydrophone, and N=ASDIC):

- for destroyers escorting a convoy: max depth detection for H and N limited to the max detonation depth of the DC (so 91 or 182 meters); the advantage of this is that the destroyers won't attack you for hours, which is historically correct because they had to return to the convoy to protect it.

- for destroyers of a hunter killer group: historical max depth detection for H and N.

You have to duplicate the devices in Sensors.dat/sim/zon. Then, to choose between the two options in the mission editor, just do as for the aircrafts (choosing between different bombs payloads). For this, you have to change the .cfg and .eqp files of a sea unit.

Then, you can mix between the two options for a same convoy, if some destroyers are specifically provided to chase a u-boat until destruction, which was a late-war tactic when there were enough destroyers to do this...
