BB-1 depth charge

Description

Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.

General info

Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the bomb.

BB-1 Depth Charges on the Soviet BMO.

Effective damage

The depth charges produce focused splash damage right above their location, like a vertical torpedo.

Comparison with analogues

The depth charges are comparable to static torpedoes that explode after a timed delay. Numbers-wise, the BB-1 depth charges are comparable to a 150 kg bomb.

Usage in battles

Describe situations when you would utilize this bomb in game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)

Depth Charges require much more skill to serve any purpose than torpedoes, because you either have to be very close to the opponent, or you have to predict the path that opponents may take.

Pros and cons

Summarize and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.

Pros:

• Very powerful weapon when used correctly
• Can have a time delay from 3 to 10 seconds, allowing for a variety of uses (short-term grenade placed in-front of opponents, or more long-term strategic 'mine' placement)

Cons:

• Difficult to use effectively, due to its 'static' nature

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of this weapon. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.

Media

An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
