IXD2 Torpedo Load

After many a career using GW I have finally decided to change my IXB to an IXD2 but was suprised I only have 24 eels....shouldn't there be 26? :hmm: ...if so who can point me to the magic 'fiX'? :D

Uboat.net shows the following for IXD2

Torpedoes:24
4/2 (bow / stern tubes)

The "stock" SH3 game has 26, so that is what is reported in various places (such as the community manual). However, as "nativetexan" points out, the reality was that it only had 24. Thus various mods (such as Greywolves) limit it back down to 24.

I made a similar post awhile ago. I think it the boat started with 26 fish, but was reduced to 24 with snorkel installation. Take a look at the blueprint, you can count the torpedo canisters.

This isnt about the ole torpedo reload bug, im just curious as to what the acutal historical data really is. I don't know why, it just suddenly peaked my curiosity.

Many sites list the IXD2 payload being 24 torpedo's. I think at least one site listed 26.
The core of this contension i think is exactly how many external deck stores did it really have? If 24 torpedos, then im guessing its 4 aft and 6 foward, or 2 aft 8 foward.. If 26 torpedos id guess 4 aft, 8 foward.

But what was it really? Like i said, most sites say 24, at least one that i cant find now says 26, but heres whats intresting. If you go here:

You can D/L the plans for an IXD2 and a couple other boats. If the plane (top down) view is correct, your looking at 4 aft, 8 forward external canisters. Im thinking maybe the answer is both 24 and 26, cause a snorkel has to go somewhere and they probably took out two torpedo canisters to install it?
