Default What's the best "Blast" radius value for DC's?

15, 20, or the game's stock 40meters?

15-20 meters is good and still extremely lethal as the destroyers are very accurate. Jungman's DC_20 mod located at the "U-Boat War-Mart" sets the damage radius to 20 meters, fixes destroyer sonar's lack of a blind spot, and effectively fixes radar cross-section of snorchel heads. (radar cross section was HUGE beforehand... like the size of a car maybe)

Go here and say thanks to Terrapin

Default hrkl..

hrkl.. may i ask when DD's becomes lethal?

Ive never survived 1943 due to air but as for the DD's they never ever scares me while submerged... even they pings me the soon loose it and drops DC's in totally wrong places all the time, if ever!

Ive also noticed, if you attack a convoy at 3000+ metres the DD's are completely helpless, they will never find you if you use common sense.

I acualyl wish they got more dangerous, but the again, perhaps they will in last two years of the campaign?

Every time you survive a DC attack, just say to yourself:
So Far, So Good !! The time WILL come when you cannot
say it anymore. Just when that will be depends on how GOOD
you are at changing your tactics to compensate. Keep an open
mind and forever study their tactics every time you get attacked.

Believe me... when you run into DD's crewed by "elite level" enemy sailors... they turn into bloodhounds... you will be lucky to survive.

Also, attacking at 3000 meters wastes many of der Fatherland's expensive torpedos... Hopefully no one will tell uncle Karl what you are doing!

Is the "SonarDC_20 Mod" part of the Rub1.43 Mod ?
