Exactly; the VIIs dive faster, turn faster, etc. than the bloated IXs.
Regarding the depth charges, in real life sure. In the game, not so much.
I never bother changing direction, has never caused a problem for the reasons I stated earlier; they're always wildly off target anyway.
In fact if I turned 90 degrees, many times that would put me in the charges path
