This is how I would do it:
-adjust wpn_Kgun controller's ranges to about 250 m (you can have as many "ranges" array items as you want, so maybe it will help having more than one of them, each with a different setting, so to allow more flexibility).
- if you are using a regular Kgun as template, add two more barrel nodes to it so to have three depth charges thrown at once, one for each barrel. I am not sure if barrels need a 3D mesh attached to them in order to work. If so, for the moment you can attach some dummy model to the new barrels, and set it to invisible.
- adjust barrel nodes' pitch (i.e. x axis rotation) to about 45 deg: this was the approximate elevation of squid laucher's barrels.
- adjust the yaw (y axis rotation) of each barrel individually, so to create a triangular spread. In theory you should obtain a pattern like the one seen in the picture below (courtesy of
navweaps.com):
- equip a corvette with a couple of modified K-guns fitted on her front deck and pointing right forward, lauch the game and cross your fingers
I would do the above tweaks myself, but atm I have not SHIII installed, only SHIV and V, but If you upload somewhere the stock K-gun files I can give it a go, or I could use SHIV files as template: the shouldn't be too dissimilar from SHIII ones.

Thank you very much, they help a lot
All the best, gap off
P.S: launcher's meshes are nearly finished:
