In what year are the Allies seeing perfect success? 1942 would be too early (and in no year should the allies have a guaranteed kill). On the whole, however, Allied crews were far better trained at ASW and the Allies should be better at it, even when the only weapons deployed are pressure-triggered DCs.

Depends on the weapon. If the Allied escort is using mousetrap or hedgehog, a "boom" almost always indicates a hit. Not always enough to do for the sub, but usually enough to send her to the surface where she may be finished off.
I think the damage phenom that you are describing comes from the blob of hit points approach applied to subs. Maybe they could alter the dc routine however, so that fewer DC attacks are fatal but tend to inflict SYS damage. That way a good, serious, non-fatal DC pounding can send the sub home.
