Many thanks for the details. Sure, you are right !
So I set my DC stock effect to Min radius 8 m, Max radius 25 m MaxEff 230, and MinEff 2.

But I am sure that if DC explode at 30 or 35 m the shakes makes light flicking inside sub even if there is no damage.
What do you think about this ?

Another time Many thanks for your help and for your nice advice.

Kind regards

I think you are right about shaking and minor damage.
The 8m and 16m distances are probably correct as far as they go, but most likely were based on hull damage, which would be easier to estimate. From what I've read, most subs sunk by DC's, were KO'd by accumulated damage rather than by a few lucky hits. The USN dropped DC's by their subs at periscope depth to "indoctrinate" their crews. This was done at 200 and 100yd distances. This suggests that is was considered unsafe the drop much closer than that. I can imagine men and loose equiptment could be thrown against steel members of the interior even if the hull sustained "no damage".
