depends on which enemy you are fighting because the weapon set is different.
in general, DD sonar sets are forward and side scanning which means they cannot hear noise in the stern 90 degrees (135-225). so if the DD is only dropping rear depth charges, by definition, they cannot hear a submerged target after they pass over it regardless of the explosion.


some DD's have forward-firing undersea weapons. i suspect that they will be able to hear targets that are forward of them after the explosion. the game/mod documentation of this particular aspect of the game is not specific in this regard.


does that help?
