milkcows in grey wolves supermod

[ober lt lare]

hi i have the grey wolves supermod and i love it alot but the only question i have is the milk cows i went to one and you can update your crew but you cant choose what torpedoes to load how do i choose the torpdeo loadout or is the milk cow rearm not a choice as far as what torpedoes you want let me know how to fix this or do i have no option but to leave it alone

When you go to a milk cow the torps are reloaded to what you got as default (can be changed by mini tweek) so if you got T1 OR T2s thats what you get.

I suspect that when a sub docked at a milkcow or supply ship they got what was there and not necessarily what they wanted.

In the basic cfg file in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg

is a list of your boats default torpedo loadout

ie;

[SUBMARINE_AMMO6];IXB
Type=2
Version=0
ForeTubes=4
AftTubes=2
ForeResIntern=4
ForeResExtern=5
ForeResExtra=2
AftResIntern=2
AftResExtern=2
ShellSlots=12
NbYears=7
Renown=7
Year0=1939
ForeTube00=0 ;T1
ForeTube01=0
ForeTube02=0
ForeTube03=0
ForeResIntern00=0
ForeResIntern01=0
ForeResIntern02=0
ForeResIntern03=0
ForeResExtern00=0
ForeResExtern01=0
ForeResExtern02=0
ForeResExtern03=0
ForeResExtern04=0
ForeResExtra00=0
ForeResExtra01=0
AftTubes00=0
AftTubes01=0
AftResIntern00=0
AftResIntern01=0
AftResExtern00=0
AftResExtern01=0
Z01_00=9 ; IX/1
M01_00=0
A01_00=8
S01_00=4
SuperCharger_00=-1
Snorkel_00=-1
Batteries_00=1268
AftBatteries_00=1268
Hydrophone_00=1270

Which basically says in a 1939 IXB all your torpedos are type 0

Whatever is in this section is the torps you will get in the normal base torpedo screen or if in a milkcow

You can change the torpedo type eg 0 to whatever you like as long as that torpedo is available that year

[TORPEDO_TYPE0];T I (G7a)
Idx=0
Year=1939
Month=1
Renown=0

[TORPEDO_TYPE1];T I FaT I (G7a)
Idx=1
Year=1942
Month=10
PrototypeYear=1941
PrototypeMonth=5
Renown=100

[TORPEDO_TYPE2];T II (G7e)
Idx=2
Year=1939
Month=1
Renown=0

[TORPEDO_TYPE3];T III (G7e)
Idx=3
Year=1942
Month=6
PrototypeYear=1941
PrototypeMonth=5
Renown=0

[TORPEDO_TYPE4];T III FaT II (G7e)
Idx=4
Year=1943
Month=3
PrototypeYear=1942
PrototypeMonth=9
Renown=250

[TORPEDO_TYPE5];T IV (G7es) - Falke
Idx=5
Year=1943
Month=7
PrototypeYear=1942
PrototypeMonth=11
Renown=500

[TORPEDO_TYPE6];T V (G7es) – Zaunkönig I
Idx=6
Year=1943
Month=10
PrototypeYear=1943
PrototypeMonth=1
Renown=800

[TORPEDO_TYPE7];T I LuT I (G7a)
Idx=7
Year=1944
Month=3
PrototypeYear=1944
PrototypeMonth=3
Renown=350

[TORPEDO_TYPE8];T III LuT II (G7e)
Idx=8
Year=1944
Month=9
PrototypeYear=1944
PrototypeMonth=9
Renown=450

[TORPEDO_TYPE9];T XI (G7es) – Zaunkönig II
Idx=9
Year=1944
Month=7
PrototypeYear=1943
PrototypeMonth=11
Renown=1000

So for a 1939 IXB you could change all your torps to type 2 as they were available that date
[SUBMARINE_AMMO6];IXB
Type=2
Version=0
ForeTubes=4
AftTubes=2
ForeResIntern=4
ForeResExtern=5
ForeResExtra=2
AftResIntern=2
AftResExtern=2
ShellSlots=12
NbYears=7
Renown=7
Year0=1939
ForeTube00=2 ;T1
ForeTube01=2
ForeTube02=0
ForeTube03=2
ForeResIntern00=2
ForeResIntern01=2
ForeResIntern02=2
ForeResIntern03=2
ForeResExtern00=2
ForeResExtern01=2
ForeResExtern02=2
ForeResExtern03=2
ForeResExtern04=2
ForeResExtra00=2
ForeResExtra01=2
AftTubes00=2
AftTubes01=2
AftResIntern00=2
AftResIntern01=2
AftResExtern00=2
AftResExtern01=2
Z01_00=9 ; IX/1
M01_00=0
A01_00=8
S01_00=4
SuperCharger_00=-1
Snorkel_00=-1
Batteries_00=1268
AftBatteries_00=1268
Hydrophone_00=1270

Have just used 1939 as an example because its the first year on list for that boat
You could change all torps to type 2 and save doc and when you stop at milkcow or in base all your torps would be type 2

For a late 1943 boat you could change them all to type 1\2\3\4\5 or 6 what ever you like and that would be the default loadout for your sub in base upgrades screen or supplied by milkcow

Only do when in port and make a back up of the basic.cfg file first in case of errors

Hope thats not too confusing for you

Thanks, I appreciate your help. I'd appreciate it if anyone else had any suggestions.There's a lot about GW I like, but some other aspects I don't. However, I'm very interested in the u-tankers mod.
