I'm currently working on two mods (well, actually three, I guess). I'd just like to get some feedback and opinions on them.

#1 is providing aircraft on ASW patrol a true ASW loadout. Starting around mid '40 aircraft will (potentially) carry a mixed load of bombs and depth charges. This means if you lollygag about diving you'll not only have to worry about a line of bombs landing on your head but also string of depth charges going off below water, too.

#2 is creating the US Mark 9, fast-sinking depth charge, which came into service in 1943.

#3 is creating the British Mark X depth charge, which is a 3,000 pound depth charge (as compared to the standard 300 pound depth charges that we all know and love) which --Danke Gott!!-- came into service in December of 1944.

All three will be JSGME-installable, as well as GWX 2 compatible (which is not the same as GWX-approved).

Hopefully these will make things even more interesting.
