Hello
First I am new to sub sim so hope this is in the right place to post.
Is it possible to change the number of torpedo tubes on a sub or if its not is it possible to reverse the direction of the tubes.
My total experience with modding is 1 week playing around with Silent 3ditor and the UPC files so I hope this is not a daft question. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome aboard, Fred. Happy to have you with us.

As for your question about torpedo tube, it depends on the class of submarine. Most all classes of have different arrangements including bow and stern tubes. So reversing the direction of the tubes really isn't necessary. Hope this help. Check out the link below my sig for info on the US Submarines.

Thanks for the speedy reply and the info on subs. I didn’t explain myself very well in the post. What I want to do is mod a late RN T class sub with 8 forward tubes and 2 stern. Having done a little more research I know tubes can be reversed as “Peabody” was credited on doing it on the RN T class in the download area.
To my knowledge there is no sub in the game with an 8 tube forward and 2 stern configuration so its got to be done from scratch.
As I said my total knowledge on moding is a week playing with this idea, it’s probably way out of my league and stupid to try. But who knows with a little help it might just be possible to do.

Your probably right, but it would take one of the pro modders around here to say if it was actually possible. I wouldn't be surprised if it could be though.

keltos01 built a "T" Class sub, but I cannot find it by itself. It is in We Dive At Dawn (WDAD), a Bonus Mod for SubSim. keltos01 also did the Dutch T class, which has 10 tubes forward, found in his mod Zwaardvisch v1.3 - He has several threads around about his sub building, but I again, cannot find them... my "search" skills on the internet are about as good as my "search" skills when I'm looking for the car keys: "Honey, have you seen my car keys?"...

Many thanks for the info on the WDAD T class will have a look for it. The one I found was in the “normal” download section. PS Love the Jimbuna quote.
