Was exciting and thrilling none the less.

Over all, it feels like damage radius may be a bit too enlarged (as i didn't see how close the charges were, just gauging off how close it sounded).

Historically, a charge would have to be within 6-7m before it'd dent an undamaged pressure hull, but haven't read anywhere as far as how close they'd have to be for pipes to be exploding, engine and compressor getting wrecked, so I have no idea how large the damage bubble would have to be, just my two cents. Gonna turn on the external camera and intentionally aggrivate some destroyers, so i can watch next time, so i can give a bit more precise feedback.

Excellent work, and look forward to more, bigger, and better things on this front.
Depthcharges in real life inflicted hulldamage only when detonated just a few meters away from the sub.
