I went larger than TM for the larger type 2 DCs than TM (MaxRadius). I used 25m as I recall.

The Max radius can actually be somewhat large because below 100 damage, nothing happens. If max is only 200, and the max radius is set to 10m, min to 5m, the DC will only do ANY damage at 7.5m, farther than that, it does nothing at all. I think they should do SOME damage out to between 10 and 15m, so if the min is ~5, the max should be ~20-25m.

Upping the EF values helps as well.

Getting a single DC to kill you is damn near impossible, even if it blows up in contact or actually inside the sub (they have no collision node, so they pass through the sub).

Adding a collision node so that DCs will bounce off your hull is on my list of things to do... imagine the fear hearing THUNK! Worse, imagine it falls into the bridge and gets stuck there, lol.
