DC damage less in GW

Since installing GW the DC damage is much less, even when my sub is in the middle of them that before would cause heavy damage or death. Is this more accurate?

Well the stock deck gun was far too powerfull so was tweaked but with the ships being harder to sink it shows more

I believe this is being addressed in the new GWX
Well the ships damage model is for sure

Aim for below the waterline and in different areas so ship will sink

I think shegeek72 is talking about the Depth Charges in GW and the damage they do.

DC's dont really cause that much damage in a stick unless in almost / direct contact with sub thats why DC patterns was used ie:- diamond, pyramid due to the concussion wave caused by DC's exploding had a better chance of crushing the sub or forcing it to the surface...quite a few times after a sustained DC attack subs would surface as more often the "psychological" damage was more frequent than actual sub damage.

Interesting. Thanks! Is that due to the water "absorbing" the explosion more than air, or some other principle?
