Yes; that is a good idea - the "explosive sweeps" could be dangerous, and they were typical equipment on several destroyers, like the "M" class - the Central powers also used them, and they successfully destroyed at least one Italian submarine, the "Balilla".
I think it would give the player some white knuckle moments (or make you happy if your escorts start hunting an enemy AI sub with one).
