thanks for the answers-

okay. After my abortive try a few months ago, i'm making increased ASW compatable with this. I have some questions about the depth charges and bombs.sim

These files have five entries per weapon type:
Fall speed
Detonate Depth
Depth Precision
Explosion Range
Explosion Impulse

The increased ASW mod has the historical explosive loadouts and sink rates, so I'd like to use that as a base and just scale it to LRT.

1. Fall speed seems fairly obvious.
2. Detonate Depth: I understand what it means in the bombs.sim, but I have no clue what this entry would do in the depth charges one. This entry is the same for the depth charges- 25 - for both mods, so i'll just use that. But the bombs vary. I'm using the ASW settings for historical detonation depths.
3. Depth Precision: I have no clue what that means. Any help? In the depth charges.sim, LRT has it at 15 while IASW has it at 11.
In the bombs.sim, LRT has it at 5 for all of them, while IASW varies from one to five. Any help here on what this does?
4. Explosion Range: self explanatory, but i don't know how to change this. The LRT values are essentially 60% larger. How should I adjust the IASW settings, which range from 35-43, to compensate?
5. Explosion Impulse: is this the explosion power? The IASW has this much higher than the LRT settings. How should I scale this?

Also, all of the bombs.sim settings for LRT are the same. Why is this? Doesn't it take different sized bombs into acount?

Finally, the last setting in the bombs.sim file is strange. Both mods put the explosion range and impulse at 0.001953125. Which weapon is this?

thanks
