I never saw this in an unmoded game either. There is an explosion range setting indeed, but this controls the range of the
shock wave (which makes your boat rolling left and right), it has nothing to do with the depth.
Vanilla settings:
And yes, the DC will vanish past 300 or 500 m (I don't remember the correct value), but
as everything else: sinking boats, and your own U-Boot ! ...
So, the conclusion is that it's impossible (except with a modification of the hardcode) to prevent the DC to explode above a minimal depth, or to force them to explode past a maximum depth...
The only way to simulate a safe zone past a certain depth is to make the hydrophone and asdic of an attacking ship incapable of detecting you past this depth.
