Acoustic torpedos

[Col. Caldwell]

Hi, folks. Wondering if someone can explain something to me. I'm currently in June 1943 and in the previous year I was able to arm my sub with acoustic torpedos. But now I don't see any of them in the torpedo list while in base. Anyone knows why?

Go back to the office and then back into the torpedo load screen. Each time you do there are a different number listed. Sometimes may be zero, sometimes may be 10.


Also, your sig image is too long :ping:

I left in May 1943 and they were not available, i returned in September 1943 and they were available. 124 day mission

Umfuld is right. I had the same problem. Also, you can just switch between upgrade lists in the upgrade section, ie. from torpedoes to, say, weapons and switch back. Keep doing it until you find your torps!
happy hunting

No: fully equipped type VIIB againt an escorted tanker convoy in '40 with a corvette and a blackswan is NOT fair...
It is called "massacre" and may be a lot of fun.... but definitely not "fair" even at 100% :rock:

One way I look at acoustics (the few times I'm still alive when they are available) is we put up insane tonnage numbers and sink our fair share of capital ships. I think our 'renown' would be high enough to get whatever we wanted after 1,000,000 tons. :arrgh!:


While I'm here talking about torps a question (I think the answer is no): you can't change your load out of torps after you've left port can you?
Like if you have 4 acoustics loaded in your tubes but come across a couple of unescorted merchants and don't want to waste acoustics on easy shots - can you change those for ones you have in reserve?

Actually you can as long as you have at least 1 empty slot for the torpedo to unload to

Hmm, I've tried switching between the different sections. Maybe I should try it again once I return to port. Thanks for the suggestions.:D

That's cheating
IMHO I dont like the game loading me out with what the game chooses...if they are available I would choose to load the whole sub with em...I dont think they made just 4 and said forget-a-bout it...:nope:

Untick the automatic loading (top left of screen) and drag the unwanted eel into an empty/vacant slot, then drag your choice into the tube you emptied :arrgh!:

[Col. Caldwell]

Well, I tried switching back and forth (lots of times) between the torpedo and other sections while in base but it seems the acoustic torpedos are still unavailable. I think someone mentioned that first ones were only prototypes. Could it be that the torpedos were withdrawn by BDU for further testing?:hmm: I checked the in-game equipment timeline and I see there is a second version of the acoustic torpedo, so I think I'll just have to go along with my patrols and check back afterwards.

Nope, you need to come fully out of the upgrade screen and back to the Flotilla Office, then go back to the torpedo upgrade screen to find your torpedos fully replenished.:arrgh!:

[Col. Caldwell]

Well, I just started a patrol so I'll have to check back much later and see if that'll work.:lol:
