Depth charge's maximum depth.

One thought ive had throughout all this, is the combination of

- 18o-190 ish maximum depth setting on DC.s (debatble, out of hat numbers)

- Randomize the accuracy so they can randomly reach down to say 225 meters ( just an out of the hat example)

- Experiment with explosion radius so that....

- Subs with tweaked max depth can get under the DC's, but not out of their shockwaves. So theyl get rattled by them something good. Ideally id love to see alot of damage machinery, and flooding.. such that...

- it makes maximum depth a razors edge tighrope walk safe from hull rupture, but not safe from crushing. DC's shockwaves should encourage the boat to be crushed if hammered enough by explosion radius.

My "big picture" perspective so to speak. This is what i would like to achieve.

edit:
one side effect i think however would be that it would encourage max depth divinig. With the increased explosion radius, being DC'ed any other depth could be a real killer. Dunno, needs testing :hmm:

edit:
on the other hand you could always make the escorts less accurate with the pin point drops. So that an "in the vacinity" is enough to make you crap your pants.
