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.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
| Vehicles equipped with this weapon | |
|---|---|
| Motor torpedo boat | Pr. 206 · D-3 · Pr.123K · Pr.123K (A-10bis) · Pr.183 · Pr. 206 |
| Sub-chaser | BMO · MO-4 · MPK pr.122A · MPK-163 · OD-200 |
| Destroyer | Soobrazitelny · Stroyny · Ognevoy |
General info
Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the bomb.
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 150kg 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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.
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 cannon/machine gun;
- 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.
