When you get to your refit port the box comes up and gives the option to Refull/Rearm, once you click that it says refit inititated stay in port at least four hours. I do this an nothing happens.

I understand you need to manually fill the emply TUBES but I see no way to bring more torps onto the boat.

Ok, good to know. Does the Mid War superstructure look a lot like the previous one? I can't see any difference when I leave port for patrol #6.

When I go to a friendly port that is NOT my home port and choose "rearm", it instantly fills my torpedo *reserves* slots with torps, but leaves the tubes themselves empty. I hit "T", drag the torpedoes to the tube slots to initiate reloading, and wait for my torpedomen to load up all my tubes. Then I click on the anchor icon in the upper-right corner of the screen and click "rearm" again. This fills up the newly empty spaces in my reserves sections. I believe the four-hour time in port thing is entirely voluntary, since the hard-coded instant loading of torpedoes is unrealistic. In fact you only *have* to wait long enough for your men to load up your tubes.

In my home port, the situation is entirely different, I have to go to the torpedoes screen and manually move each torpedo into the right slot one by one. I guess this is so that you can choose which type of torp to load.

Never had a problem with aircraft to this degree 'til now... maybe it's just karma for having bought SH5...:shifty:

I highly suggest that you read THIS PDF. It describes very nicely reasons and procedures why and what has been done to fleet sub conning towers.

SH4 had all four 'Mod' fairwaters modelled, but without their sub variants. I checked Gato, but I am not sure Tambor / Gar get Mod4 fairwater...

Balao is for example missing the early long version and has only one type.

Thanks, that was a very interesting article! I still don't know why my boat is not getting the refit, but I guess I won't worry about it too much.

patrols in 1943. east china sea, indonesia. marshall islands. Lots of planes but they seldom attack. Even if they do it usually ends with little wounds of the deck crew and minor damages. Nothing critical. And I play SH5 too:)

Ducimus explained a long time ago how the game determines when your boat is eligible to receive a change to the fairwater. May want to ask him about it.

You got SD radar? At the start of the war, I don't have an option to pick up SD.

I have a small question: which torpedoes use 'high' speed setting? I noticed that Mark 14 uses only 'slow' and 'medium'.

It's just a graphics thing that OakGroove did when he made his interior graphics mod. There are no American torpdoes with 3 speed settings.
