I hadn't looked at this thread in a while, and today I noticed this quote:
Quote:
At the depth charge's minimum depth setting of 30 feet, the boats had to travel top speed to avoid damage from the blast.
It may mean nothing, but to add to that quote Tameichi Hara's book Japanese Destroyer Captain mentions that after taking a last contact reading they would accelerate to flank speed to avoid damage. This was done no matter what the depth setting. I don't know if the game can allow for something like this, but I'm pretty sure it would affect accuracy as well.
