Well there are 3 ASW weapons and 2 of them cost credits while one is premium.
DC (Deapth Charges)
4 second timer (explodes about 5 seconds after it hits the water)
Short range but usually instakills subs if they don't get out of the way before it goes boom.
Note: Subs can critical dive and avoid any damage from ASW weapons as the cost of a constant DP drain.
It takes them about 3 seconds to crit dive.
HH (Hedgehogs but the name varies)
2 second timer (3 second delay total)
Somewhat weak and has a slow reload (60 seconds) but can be fired at subs at range in packs of 5.
PHH (Premium Hedgehogs)
2 second timer (3 second delay)
30 second reload time. Fired in packs of 7. Each shell has 3 times the explosive power of regular HH (something around 900 per shell.
Basically subs are overpowered and overpowered PHH counters overpowered subs.
PHH are not that dangerous to larger ships unless the user has epic accuracy.
