How are you selecting them? If you manually use one of the switchboards (in the Conning Tower, WE view or on the periscope itself) it should open as many as you flip. If you use the 'Q' key it will only open one at a time, unless you have a salvo selected.

Unless you actually did one of those, in which case I have no clue what would cause that problem.:06:

salvo selected is the same if no torpedo is not in the tube it still opens 1 only

in the command room right in front of the weapons officer there is a switch panel with 5 or 6 green lights with toggle switches.

these toggle switches open or close the torpedo doors.

toggle as many of the switches as you want and this will open as many doors at once as you like

Are you actually trying to use the switches from the Weapons Officer Station? I dont believe they work if you're trying to use them from the Captians (F2) station, or free cam mode. You have to right click the WO icon to go to his station, then look up and open the tubes.

If you using salvo shots and two or more tubes are lit up pressing the "Q" key should open all lit (selected) tubes.

Never had a problem with this, though once in a while when Ive manually opened all tubes one closes once in a while, usually of Ive changed tubes and TDC settings... not always though.

IDK if this is your problem, but you cannot open the door of an empty tube you are trying to reload. This is a good thing, because if you could, you would sink your boat.

Try disabling all mods and running the game. If that fails you must have a faulty/corrupt file.
