Hi all, [QUOTE=mdiehl] Leo - In what year are the Allies seeing perfect success? 1942 would be too early (and in no year should the allies have a guaranteed kill). On the whole, however, Allied crews were far better trained at ASW and the Allies should be better at it, even when the only weapons deployed are pressure-triggered DCs. [/QUOTE] The 1942/1943 is way to early for almost 100% certain kill of Japanese submarine when attacked with depth charges (and yet this is happening almost all the time in UV 1942/1943). In UV v2.30 (and I presume in WitP ALPHA) when Japanese submarine is attacked by depth charges from escorts it would receive hits which would render it sunk (2 hits) or fatally wounded (50% or more damage). What I would like to see instead (and what is historically accurate) is: #1 Many many more unsuccessful depth charge attack where submarine is not damaged at all but such attack would force submarine to hide fore hours and thus not attack. #2 Many many more partially successful depth charge attack where submarine would suffer all kind of damage from near misses (like leakage, system damage, weapon damage, reduced speed from engine damage). #3 Much much less direct hits where depth charge(s) would hit directly and cause massive damage (like we have now: 50% for 1st hit and sunk from 2nd hit). This is what I had in mind when I initially posted my first message... Leo "Apollo11"
