Mechanics

Depth Charges are one of the main equipment used for ASW, being required to trigger an OASW, and greatly enhancing ASW Damage Synergy. Their main stat is "ASW" .

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.
