Yes it does. But the stock DDs behave exactly the same (in fact the hedgehogs use the same controller as the DDs) so there won't be a big difference.

Setting the detonation radius smaller would make it virtually impossible to hit the enemy. Even with 5m it's very hard.
And not many DCs historically detonated within 5m of the sub.

Now, you dump DCs, and some go off without the possibility of damage, some will shake the sub, others might blow right next to the target. Ideally they'd be loaded sort of randomly on the racks.

Great idea which would solve the issues with the 5m radius. But the problem is that every different type of DC more means a torpedo type less, as I've not been able to successfully clone torpedoes. If someone knows how to add additional torpedo types i'd be very happy to create such a feature. |
Did you assign a different hex ID to the new weapons after cloning?
