It is certainly true of at least two VIICs.
I assume that means it was true of all VIICs, but they might have fitted
torp heating to the aft late war, I don't know.

I have no idea about other U-boat types, but I wouldn't be at all surprised
if the IX did have heating gear for all tubes.

Interesting. I didn't know that.

IRL all electric torps needed to have their batteries heated for 20mins to an
hour to ensure they ran at full speed and range.

I did know that that. I keep only steamers in my externals.

Thanks for the info.

I like the steamers. I always shoot from close up and the extra speed makes evading (assuming that the ship does spot the wake) more difficult.

In the med (and late war?) only electrics where carried in externals, if any at
all. Apparently that was safer in case of air attacks.
I suppose you don't want high pressure air canisters exploding.

No air torpedoes are carried in upper deck containers by U-Boats operating in the Mediterranean on account of the frequency of air attacks
