The 13 damage bonus is a flat bonus that applies to anything using a depth charge-like attack, while anything using a aircraft-based ASW attack has a flat 8 damage bonus. This is why lvl 1 DDs with no equipment can still ohko non-elite subs. The idea is that when you Orel, most of the DDs are in Line Ahead formation, so the 0.6 modifier tends to reduce damage below a level that can do any damage, so it's nonstop scratch - except ships attacking Maruyu, or when the ships are in Double Line, where the damage increases dramatically, such that it's possible for subs to taiha on a parallel crit even if it's a Ha-class attacking a sub like Imuya. Without the base bonus, it would be impossible for Ha to damage any sub except Maruyu in Double Line. Similar basically to the +5 base FP/Torp bonuses that are used for shelling calculations.

What the equipment affects is whether the 1.15x bonus applies to the entire ASW stat.

Addional validations have been added so now users will get a big fat red error message if the ship class doesn't match its name (which will happen when changing ships), when the attack type doesn't match (again when changing ships), etc. Yasen mode now bans the use of day attacks, ships are not allowed to use any non-ASW attack type on subs and not allowed to use ASW on non-subs, etc.

I have neither crit nor evasion information.
