[TEC] Depth Charge values examined in S3D

DCs have a zon file which determines their damage, and a sim file which determines a few other aspects of them in game.

Sim values are:

fall_speed = 3
detonate depth = 25
depth precision = 5

Then stuff related to the shaking of explosions (not damage) and the visual effects.

Fall speed is in m/s I think (and is too high, but dropping it increases chances of sinking the ASW ship)

Depth precision is the error (in meters) of drops made (presumably the error varies based upon crew skill?)

Detonate depth... wtf is it? the _X DCs (thrown) are set to depth 2500. Is that the max depth they fall to?

25 is actually more shallow (in meters) than jap DCs could really be set, even early in the war, and they do seem to drop much deeper. Is the value unused?
