Maximum torpedo launch depth?

[mkubani]

Hi guys,

I would like to ask you what is the maximum depth at which I can launch torpedo in SH 3 (GWX 2.0) in case I am targeting through hydrophone. Is there any depth limit? Could a real WW2 submarine launch its torpedoes from let's say from 70m below surface?

Thanks.

If I remember correctly the maximum torpedo firing depth is 20 or 25m.

I am 95% certain it's 20m. Any deeper and it would use too much compressed air to force the torpedo out of its tube.

Cheers,
Stephen

Only the TypeXXI can launch deeper...around 49m max.

Yeah im pretty sure its 20meters, Plus i dont think the torpedos had directional ruddders that could move it up and down in depth. I would love to know a way to edit the MAX depth for firing torpedoes. Cause im using the Homing torpedos and soo it would be soo simple to sit at around 40meters and just fire a bunch, like right below convoy. Like shot'in fish in a barrel.:arrgh!::arrgh!:

I check in configuration files

max depth to lunch torpedos:
typ II - 16m
typ XXI - 50m
rest - 20m

Easy.

Go to: SH3 > data > Submarine > NSS_Uboat9d2 > and open the NSS_Uboat9d2.cfg with notepad: In the area named [Properties], in the 6th line you have: TorpLaunchMaxDepth=20 ;meters

Replace 20 with 30 (?) and save. From now, the IXD2 will launch torpedoes from 30 meters depth.

Same for every U-boot, NSS_UboatXXX.

Enjoy and pay attention: some of the other values inside the NSS_UboatXXX.cfg files needs to be changed inside other files also (type .dat etc.) for seeing the effect inside the game. You can do that with Minitweaker tool.

I hope you understand my English...
