why would a relatively BIG Torpedoboot like the S-100 series not be capable of carrying Wasserbomben?

Lets see what we can find...

Because the unique way to simulate the release of depth charges in the S-boot mod was modding them as decoys. And smoke cans were a more interesting option! BTW All s-boots were fitted with dc rails and six 50kg wasserbomben, save when they carried mines.

would there be no possibility to add a Weapons node in the back of the Boat, adding a single Wabo station to it?

it would be of no use, but still...:D

a depth charge could be dropped right ahead of an enemy ship, an Italian MAS nearly sank a Soviet destroyer in the Black sea doing that, so not useless at all! But S-boats had two of these racks, a single one would not be historically correct! And I dont know how doing that!:88)
