Naval surface is already being killed by heavies as is, having subs would somewhat balance that threat. Heavies will finally be made vulnerable and will require the cover of destroyers to push a certain point, DD will play an important role in searching for submersible threats.

Can’t say for suffocating modes like AB, I only play naval for the joy of EC.

Minelayers would also work nicely against both subs and heavies, in the defence of ports (early game) if their mines would just stop despawning for no reason in EC, esp when they’re not shot at or destroyed by depth charges. Minelayers have no chance to do anything when heavies have already rushed the ports, so it’s seen as a fair compromise, lay your eggs in a certain basket early game, and hope that the enemy rushes that certain port blindly.

Mines should stop despawning in EC, period.

Meanwhile Yamato and Soyuz who has hydrophone and hydroplane with depth charge: do we need DD?

Cool I didn’t know Yamato had Hydrophone

Yes, they were added in 2024:

Meanwhile Bismarck and RN Roma has hydrophone but lack of hydroplane with depth charge.
Iowa has hydroplane with depth charge but lacks hydrophone.

What model? It potentially should have access to Sonoboys.

All us shipborne hydroplane ingame(SOC-1, OS2U, SC-1) can have 325 lb depth charge.

It has helicopter with hydrophone

Not at 1945

Yes I know

The AN/CRT-1 , -1A & -1B are WWII era airdropped sonoboys that can be released from a bomb bay

don’t think floatplanes can use it as they don’t have bomb bay and quite a small aircraft.

Is the lorie 130 g1 or g2 navle 150kg bombs depth charges? Or jus a bomb

Did france make depth charges, other then getting them imported?

The SC-1 does, it’s part of the float.

Never heard of. Can you educate me?
