Yes I think the "true" number is somewhere around 3 dozen.

They tend to drop 3 to 6 on each "run".

Typically there are two to 4 DD's which take turns on their runs.

So you can see they have more than enough to do the job.

Also as someone said before they often seem to have one too many. After all with the stock game all it takes is one close detonation and its good night ! The "die slowly" mod helps a bit with this.

The short answer is they have more munitions than you have batteries or air.

However... as it was in real life, they (DD's) tend to break off fairly quickly.

But NOT as in real life they tend to do a damn good job of guessing your depth.
