Introduction

対潜兵装です。
九四式にかわる新型の爆雷投射機です。
新鋭の海防艦などに装備されました。
大量装備すれば、発見さえできれば、敵潜水艦の面制圧も…きっと可能です。

An anti-submarine weapon.
A new type of depth-charge intended to replace the Type-94.
It was deployed on the latest ships.
With a bunch of these equipped, as long as you can find the enemy, you'll be sure to wipe them out.

Mechanics

Depth Charges are one of the main equipment used for ASW, greatly enhancing ASW Damage Synergy. Their main stat is "ASW" .

ASW Damage Synergy
Small Small Sonars	Type 93 Passive Sonar Type 4 Passive Sonar Type 3 Active Sonar Type 3 Active Sonar Kai Type124 ASDIC Type144/147 ASDIC HF/DF + Type144/147 ASDIC
Large Large Sonars	Type 0 Passive Sonar
DCP Depth Charge Projectors (DCP)	Type 94 Depth Charge Projector Type 3 Depth Charge Projector Type 3 Depth Charge Projector (Concentrated Deployment) Prototype 15cm 9-tube ASW Rocket Launcher RUR-4A Weapon Alpha Kai AP Mk.32 ASW Torpedo (Mk.2 Thrower) AP
DCR Depth Charge (Racks) (DCR)	Type 95 Depth Charge AP Type 2 Depth Charge AP Lightweight ASW Torpedo (Initial Test Model) AP Hedgehog (Initial Model) AP Type 2 Depth Charge Kai Ni AP
Other ASW Mortars	Type 2 12cm Mortar Kai Type 2 12cm Mortar Kai (Concentrated Deployment)
ASW Damage Modifiers: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{synergy} = {Mod}_\text{1} \times {Mod}_\text{2} }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ {Mod}_\text{1} }[/math]	+ (Any Sonar + Any Depth Charge)	1.15
[math]\displaystyle{ {Mod}_\text{2} }[/math]	DCP + DCR and NO Small	1.1
	Small + DCP + DCR	1.25
Examples
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{synergy} }[/math]	Small + DCP + DCR	1.4375[math]\displaystyle{ 1.15 \times 1.25 }[/math]
	Large + DCP + DCR	1.265[math]\displaystyle{ 1.15 \times 1.1 }[/math]
Armor Penetration
Indepentant of synergies, some equipment provides additional armor penetration to ASW attacks. The affected equipment are: DCR: Type 95 DC, Type 2 DC, Lightweight ASW Torpedo, Hedgehog, Type 2 DC K2 DCP: RUR-4A Weapon Alpha Kai, Mk.32 ASW Torpedo (Mk.2 Thrower). The flat armor penetration value is calculated as follows: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Pen} = \sum\limits_{\text{Equipment}} \Big( \sqrt{\text{ASW}_\text{Equipment} - 2} + \text{Mod}_\text{ship} \Big) }[/math] With [math]\displaystyle{ \text{ASW}_\text{Equipment} }[/math] the base ASW stat of the applicable equipment, Visible Bonuses and Improvements are not counted here. [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{ship} }[/math] being 1 for DE, 0 otherwise, Note Armor penetration from equipment stacks, The final armor of the targetted submarine cannot go below 1.
