P_Funk, I'd read that, too. But I've tested this for more than 20 hours in different configurations and scenarios, and I've yet to encounter a situation where the depth charges weren't dropped.

xristoskaiti, I've modded both the bombs and the depth charges. Bombs now explode on contact with the water or about a meter below. The depth charges are set to go off between 15 and 20 meters . . . which they now reliably do.

SS, do you have a reference for that, that I can access? I've tried looking up historical info on that (like I have for all three) to get accurate info on size, date of service, which ships carried it, etc, but so far I've only found sketchy info. Any help on historical references and information will be appreciated!
