![]() Among those, only Isokaze doesn't have any depth charges listed as part of its armament in any historical data that I can find. Assuming that subs will be added at T4, only Isokaze, Farragut, and Aigle do not have an immediately obvious ASW armament. Even looking at the DDs I don't yet own, racks and launchers of various kinds are easily noticeable on almost all of them. ![]() A few have depth charge launchers on the port and starboard sides in addition to their stern racks. I've looked over every destroyer that I can view, and 59 of 68 have depth charge racks already modeled (87%). Now, what does this mean for us DD captains? I will wager that whenever WG does get around to ASW that a submarine will take more damage the closer they are to a depth charge. In the video here we see a submarine evading depth charges, and taking damage from one at an unknown range. What interested me more was the implications for ASW. It seems readily apparent that a submarine caught on the surface will be destroyed in short order, given their near-total lack of armor and small HP pools. What interested me in the video was the short clip that showed depth charges falling around a submarine, a sort of hint toward how anti-submarine warfare (ASW) will work. The boats we saw had torpedo tubes forward and aft, variable depth control, an oxygen meter that requires them to surface, and had fairly limited HP pools. Most of the video that we've seen was focused on how submarines are to be played. It's official, submarines are to be tested in the upcoming Halloween event.
