SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - [???] Would this DC have caused damage in reality? (pic inside)

Hey guys. I thought I would take a little argument I had with a friend of mine here for some expert analysis. In my recent tangle with Bungo Pete I had a depth charge dropped almost right on top of me. Fortunately I was at FLANK speed and full left rudder so I managed to get out from under it. However the DC detonated right behind my sub. Here is the action as it happened...

When this charge went off it shook the sub violently. It seemed like I was on a roller coaster in the conning tower. However, the sub took no damage at all. My friend says that the screws or at least the rudder would have been blown off. I say it may be possible to take no damage from such a close hit since it happened behind the sub and not above or below.

So, what do you guys think? Should I have taken damage? And if so, can the damage model of the sub in SHIV be tweaked to reflect reality a little better?

Thanks in advance.
