GWX KC Edition - Depth Charges

@Tabris, just to say so 'out loud,' even when an ASW vessel is out of depth charges and continues running about overhead.... keeping you submerged means that he is still doing his job. The convoy still gets away.

Also, to Hooston, Mowgli and other interested parties. When I stated that as part of the solution to stock SH3 ASW vessels blowing their own sterns off with depth charges, and loosening the old SH3 stock laser guided DC's, I mentioned part of what I did was to increase the DC blast radius. That was inadvertent. What I did was to reduce the DC blast radius. Those changes (that I made back during the development of GWX 2.0 in 2007 or 2008 IIRC) largely put a stop to ASW vessels trying to sink themselves.

However, the smaller blast radius is intense. Depth charging sessions are longer in average duration than stock SH3, but delivered damage when sustained, I think is about the same. There's more to depth charge bombardments in GWX, but I don't want to give away too many spoilers and ruin immersion for players.
