Did a few tests (using peto's prolonged DC attack mod) in addition to this.
I was actually trying to get attacked, used the tokyo-saipan convoy mission, and let them know I was there by sinking a few of their charges. The more deliberate DCing was good, they didn't run out quickly, and also it allowed me to watch the DCs without having 10 rain down at once. Rocked around a bit, no hull damage showing, then I got shacked by 1 (almost half explosion effect in the hull), and near-missed (explosion visual just past hull) by a 2d simultaneously and took 70% hull damage. Remarkably, it was not instantly fatal by a long shot. Damage control managed to repair some stuff, but my forward flooding was faster than I could deal with because the pump was damaged. Some fairly near misses (6-10m) damaged many systems and caused flooding, but no hull damage. Nice demonstration that outside MinRadius no hull damage is done. That flooding prooved too much and the boat took a dive after a while. Still, All told I was badly damaged by 4 DCs or so before I sank outright.
Assuming they were mostly in the 100kg range, it's not too bad. If the 1st 2 were 162kg bombs, I should have been quickly dead.
