Take-away points:

Reload time for the Hedgehog - 3 minutes
Claimed success rate per salvo of Hedge-hog 1 in 5. Initial success rate (non gyro-stabilised) circa 1 in 20 per salvo.
Diameter of circle of impacts - about 100'.
Claimed success rate per DC dropped (not pattern thereof) 1 in 80.
Hedgehog rounds landed ahead of the ship by circa 590' and descended at 33' per second, reaching 200' in under 9 seconds.

I think this does argue a case that our DC's are way too accurate, or way too accurate in depth, or, way too lethal? If so, this supports my contention that the ingame experience should involve much more prolonged DC attacks, largely with progressive degradation of items within the u-boat, eventually followed by an outright kill - or escape?
