PR.253L inaccurate Depth charges

Unsure if this is a bug or inaccurate modelling.

On the PR.253L in the Russian Coastal tree. It can equip depth charges. 12 of them.

The way the depth charges are modelled is 1 is placed on the edge of the ‘rail’. The other depth charges are held in a rack just behind


Firstly. The depth charges can only be dropped 1 at a very slow time. By this I mean that only the left / port Depth charge can be dropped. Despite multiple attempts, I cannot drop another depth charge (ie the Right / Starboard one). I have to wait until the left depth charge reloads. The right ‘rail’ is useless.

Secondly. As you can see in the screenshots, the PR.253L carries 12 depth charges but only 10 are being presented (8 in the rack and 2 on the rail). The solution to this is simple, fill the empty section in the rack with another 2 depth charges.

As I said, I don’t know if this is a bug or incorrect modelling. Either way, It would be nice to see this fixed.

G’day late reply, so I went along an tested this Project 253L & I usually take mines so I didn’t realise that the BB-1’s were bugged.

So technically it does carry all twelve see in your hotbar it shows 4/8, well that’s all twelve. Secondly it’s confusing the drop order as you drop five or six from the port side before it swaps to the starboard side.

While rolling the charges off the port side it goes from 4/8 to 3/7 before going to 4/7, you get to the fifth one & it swaps sides an goes 2/6 until the last being 1/0 before emptying to 0/0.

Niche when dropping from the port side the xray shows no charge on the starboard side, yet when you get two the middle of dropping them both sides have them in xray, after releasing the last port side charge they then appear in xray for the starboard side.

Since I take mines, I never noticed that & it has probably been like that since it was added.
