Introduction

元々は大戦後半期に日本陸軍が開発した陸戦用の迫撃砲です。
十分な対潜装備のなかった陸軍の船舶などに搭載され、前方投射型の対潜火器としても運用されました。
本兵装は同迫撃砲をさらに改良した艦載用強化型です。
爆雷投射機の代替として、また限定的ながら対地攻撃も可能です。

This mortar was originally developed by the Imperial Japanese Army in the latter half of the war.
It was mounted forwards for anti-submarine use on IJA ships that did not have sufficient anti-submarine equipment.
This is an improved shipborne model of that mortar.
It can substitute for a depth charge projector and is also capable of limited ground attacks.

Mechanics

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

Other ASW Mortars have additional Anti-Installation bonuses similar to Anti-Ground Rockets.

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.
