During some of the earlier test iterations, there was a significant problem where a sub riding the depth line between surfaced and submerged could completely evade depth charge damage by skimming to the surfaced 'state' when nearby charges were about to explode. It also feels pretty bad to run past a sub and watch it take 0 damage from DCs because it surfaces briefly; having them take damage even at surface prevents these problems.
