1) Here: http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WAMBR_ASW.php

Mark VII (standard DC of the first three years of WW2):
Settings = 300 feet (91 m) max, later units 500 feet (182 m) (I think they mean 600 feet)

So I think this is a main tactical point that should be represented in game, in a way or another!


2) By the way, interesting reading here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_charge and here: https://www.quora.com/How-was-the-de...-depth-charges


3) Also, I'm searching for the exact dimensions of the DC cylinder, but I can't find them. Anyone?
