BTW, I think the DC_X_H is the hedgehog, right?

The RL Type 95 had a 100kg warhead, 2 depth settings (30 and 60m), then a 3d setting in late versions (90m). It had a sinke rate of 1.9. Interestingly, they also shipped parachuted versions---not dropped from planes, but a chute to slow the sink rate farther for slower ships to drop them at shallow settings.

This makes me want to mod in some new DCs. Make an early war in 2 versions, one with -1.9 sink, and one even slower for various ersatz ASW assets.

They Type 2 came into service in 1943, and had the sink rate we see in SH4, -3m/s. Some were ~100kg, others 162kg warheads. Looks like it could be set to finer depth control (~25 ft intervals)

They also armed ships (even merchants) with ASW mortars. I wonder if we could mod a hedgehog that fired a single round instead of a pattern...
