How many Depth Charges

[Karle94]

Why don`t you just count the splashes or the explosions? The number of depth charges is not preprogrammed. It`s not in a file, if the destroyer thinks you`re dead they will stop dropping depth charges.

of course shells and depth charges are counted,
check \Data\Library\ShipParts\guns_radars.sim

actually I cannot in honesty use an external view, as it is forbidden quite clearly in our Rules of Engagement, this is part of what makes the Pacific Thunder Campaing what it is.

and since we cannot send up debris or a big oil slick, there is no way to convince the tin cans we are dead.

While the number of depth charges dropped by a escort is not preprogrammed, he must draw those charges from an stockpile, Im trying to find out what he keeps in his lockers

I think it can range from 40-120 per ship depending on ship size.
I have seen this info but cannot remember where, as vickers says - try that file
