And anyway, regardless of what is historical, all that matters to us here is how it works in the game. Perhaps the DCs have no max depth? Need to discover how it works.


Now that I have the VIIC/41 I should be able to go below 300m and if I get hit down that deep at least we will know they can reach us any depth we can go in the game. I will be testing it, hopefully not so often, but next depth charge rainstorm I'll test it out.


Playing dead is dead and now in 1942 I'll take every advantage or kernel of info to help us survive.

You peaked my interest concerning detonation depths and I found this. Hope it’s useful to you and modders.

Generally speaking if the information above is correct subs should be safe below 300 feet (91 meters) until around 1943
