Hi blackcan
This link you are showing in your post how to install TDW’s Generic File Patcher is wrong > http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=197960
The generic patcher is not installed like this anymore.
Go to my tutorial post #2 and follow the instructions.

There are now 9 patches and each one is installed exactly the same.
Just be careful that you do not open the Silent Hunter folder, only highlight it.
Make sure you disable any patches that you have enabled now.
If you have put the generic patcher in JSGME then delete it after disabling the patches.
The answer to your torpedo question is yes if you have installed the generic patcher incorrectly.
