DC's

[birdy]

in Sh4, will the amount of DC's on board now be realistic? not 150-200 each ship (or is 150-200 DC's on 1 ship realistic?).

Q: demigod151: Will the destroyers ever run out of ammo?
A: Destroyers do run out of ammo, even in SH3. However, the ammo numbers might be a little high, but then an AI will never be able to be as cunning and intuitive when deploying them against your submarine. Moreover, keep in mind there are specialized ASW escorts that would carry a large amount of DC even in real life.

For a late-war British escort, that's about right. Early in the war they carried between 36 and 70.

Japanese not only carried a lot less, they didn't even have proper escorts until almost 1944. Convoys were escorted by patrol boats with depth-charges but no Sonar, and sometimes by merchants with DCs but no guns! And again, sometimes there was no escort but the loaded merchants would carry a few charges, just so they could drop them as they ran.

In this case, I suppose that for us...brave kaleuns of the north atlantic...sh4 will be like a walk in the park.
