As for converting the destroyer to be playable ... that around 24 hours of work. When I was doing lots of these, I could convert a ship to make it playable in around 4 hours ... but then tuning the damage system and other systems and testing made up the rest of the time. I take my hat off to folk who can create the 3D models (I don't have the skills to do that), but the technical work to convert a unit to playable and work the damage model in S3d takes a lot of time.
If someone can tell me how to take a video from Sh4 (I have never done that) then I could post up a demo of depth charging an AI submarine and post it up here. I also can't take credit for the depth charging coding ... I had help from a very old resource on here .... I think it was Lurker, but I honestly can't remember. Lurker was a real wizard with this stuff ;-)

We are in luck the Super Fletch has 10 tubes and has 2 4 tube launchers showing so we'd have 2 tubes for depth charges,, that would complete the beast
