WELCOME ABOARD!
The supermods go a long way toward making sure of proper depth charge behaviour. One of the key elements all the game have wrong is depth charge blast radius. They should have to be very close to do any real damage and even closer to be fatal. The game makes them far to strong. In real life some boats were depth-charged for hours and survived. The game is in part too accurate, but also has this problem.
The big mods make it better.
