SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - The Unofficial "Official" SH3 screenshot thread!

They had two external torpedo tubes mounted above the pressure hull, so it looked a little ugly with the extra tube housing. But that did mean that it had 8 bow torpedo tubes (I think:hmmm:!)

Hope that answered your Q!

I believe it actually had 10 forward facing tubes.
6 internal, 4 external.
Quite a salvo :DL

I know I'm nit picking, but was it not 8 bow tubes (including 2 external) with further external tubes - two amidships (and one aft on later series) - facing rearwards?

Check the bottom link on my previous post and you will find the specifications of each of the three groups.

Pay special attention to the third/last/later group.

But doesn't that mean that there were eight forward facing tubes and three rearward? Or were the two amidships capable of firing solutions to the front?

edit: I am confused, because wikipedia seems to say that group one boats had 10 forward facing tubes: eg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Trident_(N52) - which says "6 internal forward facing torpedo tubes
4 external forward facing torpedo tubes"

But here: http://home.cogeco.ca/~gchalcraft/sm/TClass.html
Torpedo Tubes: Ten 21"
(8 forward, 2 amidships)

Surely those tubes amidships were rear tubes? So are the wikipedia entries incorrect?

If you read further on after the three group tables:

They were also refitted with a reduction of two internal bow tubes and the removal of two of the three aft-facing external tubes, leaving six bow tubes and one external after tube.

But what I would really like to know is whether they ever had ten forward facing tubes because some sources suggest this, but it perhaps wasn't the case.

Anyway, I'll stop using this thread to ask questions!

I try to mod them myself using "silent editor" since SH3 graphic engine has the abilty for shadows.
Problem is its all srewed up so the shadows are disabled in the game.
