Description

The WBG (short for Wasserbombe G, litterally "waterbomb G") is a German depth charge with a short fuse that can be found on German and Italian destroyers.

General info

Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the depth charge.

Effective damage

The WBG depth charge has an explosive payload of 100 kg Amatol.

Comparison with analogues

Give a comparative description of depth charges that have firepower equal to this weapon.

Usage in battles

The few scenarios where you might use this depth charge all involve being very close to the enemy vessel.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Devastating payload

Cons:

  • Impractical weapon, used only in last-resort situations

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
