Also, the destroyer should use it's hedgehog above using the depth charges, because the hedgehog is a much more effective anti-submarine weapon. The hedgehog had a 25% kill rate, while the depth charge had a 7%, as we can see, these odds are in the hedgehogs favor, so the hedgehog might not actually work within this game.

Yes, as remarked by SixthFall and Trevally, hedgehogs should work flawlessy in SH5. They get available by date. Stock settings are as follows:

Buckley class destroyer escorts equipped with hedgehogs from 02/04/1943 on
A & B and Town classes destroyers, from 01/06/1943 on
Evarts class destroyer escorts, from 01/09/1943 on
Clemson class destroyers, Black Swan and bittern class sloops, from 01/01/1944 on
V & W class destroyer, from 01/03/1944 on

If you want to test them in game you should create a custom mission with one or more of the above units, and set the mission date accordingly.

On a side note: the only type of depth charge projector not working in SH5 in an early model of K-gun. Look here for a workaround devised by Cerberus62
