General info
Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the depth charge.
Effective damage
Describe the type of damage produced by this type of depth charge (high explosive, splash damage, etc)
Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of depth charges that have firepower equal to this weapon.
Usage in battles
The Mk.6 depth charges are most affective against submarines or smaller boats. Since there are no submarines however, most players tend to not use depth charges at all.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Can potentially destroy enemies sailing behind you
Cons:
- Can explode when hit
- Ineffective at fights with more than 100 meters distance
- Currently there are no submarines in War Thunder which the weapon would be most useful against
History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main
template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>
, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />
.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
See also
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the article about the variant of the weapon;
- references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.
External links
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- encyclopedia page on the weapon;
- other literature.
