I have modified the depth charges in TMO(will release soon). I believe their accuracy has to do with the depth precision setting in the depth charges .sim file. Not sure what FOTRS stock etc has it set to but in TMO it is set to 15 meters. Based on my testing, I assume that that basically means they will set them to explode at a depth within 15 meters of the depth they believe you are at based on their sonar information. In testing I upped it to 20 etc and they were not always as close. I also have two mods, one for early war charges and later war charges. Changed the hit point values to reflect the heavier late war charge but also lowered them both from their original values because they were set quite high. Now with the changes depth charges(as they did in real life) don't kill you unless score a direct hit which is unlikely, instead they beat your sub up, destroy key systems such as trim pump etc until you have to surface to survive, until the escort shoots you on surface.
