What's the best way to load the Kilo, Collins, etc.?

Hey guys,

I get a bit confused with the Kilo loadout (and, by extension, the other boats that use the same structure - such as Collins)

What's the best way to load the racks and (different sized) tubes for:

1. Torps only
2. Torps and say, 4 ASMs
3. Torps and mines
4. Torps and Klub missiles

Thanks guys,
Stew

Depends on the mission, game version and submarine in question.

For example if you are running an ASW mission in a pr.06361 and with the mod that properly sims it, then you are going to go with torps only because it would be a choice between wireguided torps or the missiles for the two top TTs as they are the only ones that could use either.

Thanks Ikaglun,

Sorry, I maybe didn't ask the question properly - how do you load the racks so that all the torps get used?

Two tubes are a different diameter, I'm currently in a Kilo, with all my torps expended, except one Test-71, and it won't load into any tubes!

Thanks again,
Stew

Sadly I did not play the game for a long time.

But on majority of kilos the TEST-71 can only be loaded into TTs from the upper racks.

What you mean by "won't load"?

TEST-71 can be loaded into tubes 5 & 6

Tubes 5 & 6 do NOT uses the same storage like other tubes (1-4)

They have own "racks"

Kilo can carry 6 wireguided TEST-71 torpeoes:
- 2 in tubes
- 2 in rack for tube 5
- 2 in rack for tube 6

Test-71 is only one wireguided torpedo in Kilo loadout and tubes 5 & 6 are "wireguided capable".

Ahh, that makes sense (when you explain it like that!)...Thanks P7
