GWX KC Edition - Depth Charges

Mowgli · 04-22-25, 06:21 AM

I have just spent several hours evading a J Class destroyer in calm weather. It was almost impossible to shake it but I got away in the end with some damage.
Because of the length of the attack I had a chance to make several notes.
It seemed the DD had endless depth charges, I counted at least 40 explosions and so afterwards looked up how many they carried - 45 according to wikipedia. So how does the game allocated DC to destroyers or are they unlimited?

Next I noticed in the numerous attacks that the time from the warning of depth charge in the water varied. At the end at 110 metres it took 38 seconds after being dropped before the explosion.
With this information could I calculate the depth settings of the DC and so adjust my depth in between.

I used SOP to evade.
