Is depth charge still used today?
A depth charge is an anti-submarine warfare (ASW) weapon. They were widely used in World War I and World War II. They remained part of the anti-submarine arsenals of many navies during the Cold War. Depth charges have now largely been replaced by anti-submarine homing torpedoes.
Can depth charges destroy submarines?
The depth charge rarely exploded close enough to sink the submarine, but its shock waves loosened the submarine’s joints and damaged its instruments, thus forcing it to the surface, where it could be finished off by naval gunfire.
What is K Ommando?

What does maximum depth consumable do in submarines?
Maximum Depth consumable allows a submarine to dive to its maximum depth. At this depth, the submarine will take reduced damage from depth charge explosions. USN Submarines feature Engine Boost, Soviet Submarines feature Repair Party, and German Submarines feature Hydroacoustic Search.
How fast does a submarine go underwater?
A Submarine goes faster on the surface: approx. 24 kts on the surface vs. 15 kts underwater. This means that it’s better to approach enemies on the surface. You can always dive to avoid detection, enemy main battery and secondary armament fire, and torpedo salvos.
What is the best way to attack submarines?
As for attacking enemy Submarines, I recommend either launching torpedoes from the closest range possible (just a second before ramming into an enemy boat), or from a longer distance by using Sonar, though dodging those torpedoes is not big of an issue by diving or ascending. When a Submarine is submerged it operates on batteries.
How do you attack a surface ship?
There’re two effective ways to attack surface ships. You can attack enemy ships from the surface. In this case you’ll see a standard interface showing you a lead. Note that when a Submarine dives deeper this interface stops working, making deepwater launches not very effective.
