Open torpedo doors

[CapZap1970]

I know that the command to open the torpedo doors is "Q" , to close them is "W" and the key to toggle between the different tubes is "Y", I also know that there is a selector to switch between single torpedo and salvo, but what is killing me is that I knew or think I knew is there was a command to opend all the torp tubes and the toggle between them so it was easier to fire them in rapid sequence withoud having to wait an eternity for the next tube door to open.


The thing is that I remember I used to fire all my tubes in a fast sequence without the select/open/fire for each one of them. Are there any other commands to do this? Is there a way to switch tubes without having the previous one closed or opening them one by one without automatically closing when switching tubes?... :hmmm:


I can't remember well, but there was a way to do this...

What i usually do to avoid the open/close problem, is to set correct depth/speed first to all fish, then open all tubes by clicking on switches in conning tower wall box (or even on attack periscope seat view - just below the periscope reticule) They are all staying open this way...at least in my game...

Ahhhhh.... It was as simple as that.... clicking on the buttons and pressing the "Q" key.... Thanks a lot Fifi, it was driving me crazy...

Just followed Fifi's advice to select the tubes by clicking them in the F6 screen and they stayed open!!!


Thanks a lot Fifi!!! :Kaleun_Cheers:

Not sure if this is what you're after, but via these commands I can open all or any doors and they'll stay open even if I change tubes.

Has anyone found a way to get the "Toggle_open_close_torpedo_tube" command to work? I've designed a nice toggle switch like the one in the 3D F2 view, but I can't seem to get this command to do anything with a key or with a menu button. I'm guessing it must have been an incomplete idea in the game engine code.

Not sure. Personally, I think the entire open/close torpedo doors stuff was a waste of programming time and effort.
I could care less about that affect. :)
