I've been reading old threads, but am still confused over this external reload problem.

It first effected me in a type IXb.
Three torps moved from external to internal then as i tried to move the 4th the first started loading in the tube-tube 2 for some reason.
Anyway i ended up with the last front external torpedo showing twice in the internal reserve compartments-yes it multiplied! i was happy!
Until i realized that i couldn't move it to a tube at all. Well I figure i can write this one off as my crew getting tired and damageing the torpedo or something like that.
But I do want to fix my game for the future...
1st: ARe the number of torpedoes correct for the IX boats?
2nd: Did my procedures cause the problem ie will moving 1 torp to internal reserve then to a tube before trying to move another torp eliminate this problem?
3rd: Do these problems always happen or just somtimes?
4th: How do i fix it? ( I've found a pack that fixes issues with the IXD2 but does it fox the other boats as well?

Thank you for your patience,

1. I think that they are modelled coreectly, re the # of torpedos

2. I have read that in case you have problems, try loading one by one :damn:

3. This is up to you to tell us. Has this occured again? If yes, go to step 2 :-j

4. My fix takes care of issues only for the IDX/2. I do not recall any other similar fix for other IX boats, but that could be arranged.

Are you using patch 1.4? Any mods?

Thank you, I will try it again and see if the problem happens again or if it was just a fluke (i hope)

make sure your surface running, for your crew have to move on the outside of the u-boat to reload the external torps, if your submerged tell them not to open the bloody external hatch ;) till you have surfaced
