Description: GB Depthcharges for CFS2 by UncleTgt


This is a collection of GB Depthcharge models, compiled as weapon bgls, so they can be added via the aircraft dp.


Shessi has already modelled both these weapons, but I came across some data that made some more detailed modelling possible. They are multiLOD, & each model centre is the pylon hang point, same as Allens & DBolts weapons. This should allow for some consolidation of aircraft mounts, helping with CFS 2's 24 Hardpoint limit.


WEP_GB_mkVII450lbDC_UT First deployed during the early part of 1941. The round nose could lead to richochet on impact. Operational experience favoured more lighter weight weapons, & this DC was slowly replaced by the lighter 250lb DC.


WEP_GB_mkVIII250lbDC_UT Developed during 1941 & supplanted then superceded the 450lb DC during the course of 1942.


Launch limits were <500ft altitude & <173mph (150kts). CFS 2 does not model depthcharges or aerial mines, so both are configured as Type 1 bombs, to give the smallest splash on impact.


To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.
