- creating a list of the main ASW weapons that we want to be featured in our mod with their specs, measures and (possibly) drawings, and with approximate introduction and disposal dates. This list should include sea- and airborne depth charges, bombs used in the anti-submarine role, torpedoes and rockets as well as their relevant dropping/throwing/launching gear. As far as depth charges and A/S bombs are concerned, I am at good point with this task. Later today or tomorrow I will post here my list.
- for each of the featured ships, researching number, arrangement, type and mark of ASW armamenets fitted aboard, also taking in account mid- and late-war refits. Probably padi has already collected most of this information.
- for each of the featured ships and aircraft, researching historical ammo outfits and bomb loads. Again, as far as ships and number of depth charges carried on them are concerned, I think the current version of ASW Mod is a good base to start from for creating such a list.
