Anybody knows if at biginig of the war there was some recomendation? proportion gas and electric torpedo far about external loadup (theres other very interesting tread about that).

At the beginning of the war I only keep two electric torps in tube 1 and 4. The rest are all steam. I never attack a convoy in day but if I have to, the first attack can be electric, by the time they hit, the steam torps are already on the way.

By 41' I keep more electric torps on my boat.

Otherwise, I haven't seen anything.

Cheers!

Assuming you are a skilled Kaleun and in your flotilla chief's good books, you may chose your loadout according to your preferences. Keep Atos in the deckcontainers and make the internals a 1/3 to 2/3 mixture of any kind you like.

Im interested in historical info, I have my way to load torpedo type.

I was looking for something like the limitation of 2 electrical at beginning of the war.

I'm not aware of any order like this for any year of the war. I doubt there was a general torpedo loadout order.

If enough liverwurst was available, they stored half a liverwurst for every crew member per sortie. If only bratwurst was available, they used it instead of liverwurst - and didn't refuse to leave port.

Kaleun Schickelhofer preferred liverwurst, Kaleun Buckelberg favoured bratwurst.

A late war loadout order looked like this:

Some of the 1941-1942 KTB's and shooting reports mention a load of G7e's and two G7a's.

Dönitz seemed to like his U-boats to get as close to the enemy as possible so I'd expect he would have had an interest on the types of the torpedoes used, preferring accuracy/sure destruction to long-range safety/inaccuracy.
