1) Here:

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:

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