Depth Charge Attack Indicator Mod?

Anyone tried to make a depth charge attack indicator for this sim? Its my understanding this device was developed in 1944 and used in U.S. fleet boats.

I'm trying to buy a vowel here and can't find one for sale. Can you give us a link so we can find out exactly what the device was and how it worked?

Found a little bit about the Depth Charge Direction Indicator on Google, but not a whole lot.

Very interesting

I had absolutely no idea such a thing existed

Absolutely fascinating. Since this isn't even close to anything for which the game generates data, I can't see how it could be implemented. Mods have to use some game input in order to work.

Wow! What a find!

I know less than nothing about modding but what about the fact that in external view, during depth charge attacks, there is a graphical representation of where the exploding depth charges are in relation to the sub? I take it there is no data generated or causing that?
