Editing game files

[Herr Minger]

Can anyone tell me what I need to tweak to get acoustic torpedos in a 1041 campaign?

I know its cheating but sometimes don't you just wanna kick some escort ass:D

Thanks in advance!

I think you need to edit the Basic.cfg file and set the date to whatever you want.

[TORPEDO_TYPE5];T IV (G7es) - Falke
Idx=5
Year=1943 <--- That's the Date
Month=7
PrototypeYear=1942
PrototypeMonth=11
Renown=500
[TORPEDO_TYPE6];T V (G7es) – Zaunkönig I
Idx=6
Year=1943 <--- That's the Date
Month=10
PrototypeYear=1943
PrototypeMonth=1
Renown=800
[TORPEDO_TYPE7];T I LuT I (G7a)
Idx=7
Year=1944 <--- That's the Date
Month=3
PrototypeYear=1944
PrototypeMonth=3
Renown=350
[TORPEDO_TYPE8];T III LuT II (G7e)
Idx=8
Year=1944 <--- That's the Date
Month=9
PrototypeYear=1944
PrototypeMonth=9
Renown=450
[TORPEDO_TYPE9];T XI (G7es) – Zaunkönig II
Idx=9
Year=1944 <--- That's the Date
Month=7
PrototypeYear=1943
PrototypeMonth=11
Renown=1000

I tried that but no joy, I can still only get TI and TII in 10/1941.

Scroll further down the Basic till you reach your sub

VIIC 1940

Year1=1940
ForeTube10=2 ;T1
ForeTube11=0
ForeTube12=0
ForeTube13=2
ForeResIntern10=0 < change these 0 to either a 5 or 6
ForeResIntern11=0
ForeResIntern12=0
ForeResIntern13=0
ForeResExtern10=0
ForeResExtra10=0
ForeResExtra11=0
AftTubes10=0
AftResIntern10=0
AftResExtern10=0
Z01_10=5 ; VIIC/1
M01_10=1
A01_10=8

[Herr Minger]

Is that all of them

ForeResIntern10=0 < change these 0 to either a 5 or 6
ForeResIntern11=0
ForeResIntern12=0
ForeResIntern13=0
ForeResExtern10=0
ForeResExtra10=0
ForeResExtra11=0
AftTubes10=0
AftResIntern10=0


or just the top line? Thanks in advance.

btw all the other edits worked,for example conning tower,deck and AA guns,radar,sonar etc

All of them. Each line controls just ONE torpedo load.

[Herr Minger]

OK thanks Thomsen I will try it tonight when I finish a patrol as I don't think it would be wise in mid patrol. Oh and thanks to BBwooly and Melnibonian as well

Or you could use Wolfie's Tweek Sub Mod to change your torpedo load-out anyway you want it, for any year, for any sub. Not only can you carry torpedoes that haven't been designed yet, you can carry more of them on-board and also more external TP's than the 'stock' load-out.

What about those 200-knot, acoustic torpedoes with a magnetic trigger and tactical nuclear warhead? :arrgh!:
