Hi,

thought I'd ask, I have GWX 2.0 installed and sometimes when I've shot a salvo of torpedos my crew loads up the next ones pretty quick. And sometimes they just won't. Days go by, the tubes stay red no matter how many guys I put into the torpedo rooms to load. Is it mutiny, have they turned pacificts because of the senseless slaughter? :)It's a while since I played SH3 so maybe I've forgotten something. I have enough torpedo guys and officers with torpedo qualifications.

Obvious question, but do you have SH3 commnader with malfunctions enabled?

No I don't, I've never had commander installed. The mods I have on at the moment are Enhanced damage effects, Lite harbor traffic, Integrated orders and Main movie "Das Boot" through JSGME.

I wonder if there are break downs in GWX 2.0, could be. Bit of a bummer really, I guess subs broke down but I wish there was some kind of a notice like "Torpedo system broken completely" or something. I have no break ups in the sub screen.

Hmm.... not sure then. Someone else should know the answer to this problem:hmm:

Within the game itself, it could be one of two things. Either (a) you have ordered silent running, and the crew won't reload because it's two noisy and contravenes your orders. Or (b) the crew are exhausted and there isn't enough green bar over the torpedo compartment. Your men simply don't have enough energy to reload such a heavy torpedo.

Otherwise, it may be some kind of software issue, for which I am hopelessly unable to comment upon.

Heh, thats the single most common mistake here on subsim, it has happened to most everyone. Good hunting.

Bernard is a specialist of quietly getting the crew tired :rotfl: :rotfl:

Forgot about that one. I too have done that on numerous occasions.
