That's incredible, but i have some questions:

- more than depth charges, the real enemy of central power submarines were mine fields. what will you do for them?

btw, here is a scheme with submarines losses (by cause) during the war:
Mines 58
Depth charges 30
Submarine torpedoes 20
Gunfire 20
Ramming 19
Unknown 19
Accidents 10
Sweeps 33
Other (including bombs) 2

- you told about destroyers, but there were many other submarines hunters like the armed drifters, harbour defence launches and small crafts like the british CMB motor torpedo boats or the american subchasers SC-1 class. What kind of "hear" will have them (if there will be them in WotK)? Some kind of nerfed sonar or just the stock sh4 hydrophone? or will they hunt in tandem with bigger units (the destroyer listen and they drop the charges)

- bonus question, cause for now, we will have just the British navy as our opponent
you described the british destroyers as very powerful and infact they were. After them, the best sub hunters were the Americans and, surprisely the japanese (even if they had no confirmed victory and lost one unit, their destroyers in the Med were one of the most persistent during their hunts and thanks to this most of the attacks against the covoys protected by them, failed comletly). After them both Portugues and Brazilian destroyers had at last one confirmed vicotry (Romanians too, but their units hadn't depth charges and used a torpedo to sink a german sub), but Russians, Italians, French and Greeks were not that smart on hunting subs. Their tactics were often weak and their hunts usually persisted for very short time, in contrast with the British units. So: in the future, will there be this contrast between allied navies or every destroyer will be like the british ones ?

Anyway have a nice vacation Sir.
