Question on Type II reloads in GWX
 

Leaving port in a Type II, and notice....I have 6 torpedoes? 3 in tubes, 3 reloads?

Is that a 'stock' bug or something GWX thought would be an interesting enhancement?

Can't find anything about it in the GWX documentation...

Ah, interesting. Bit of research turned up this thread in the archives...

...but Google sez 5 is the right number. :p

I don´t know which is right, 5 or 6:hmm:

Six: http://www.uboataces.com/uboat-type-ii.shtml

Five: http://www.uboat.net/types/iid.htm

id go with what uboat.net says

Me too ! :yep:

:hmm: Yes I would go with uboat.net too

In the 30´th Flot. you need that extra torpedo:rock:

The crew will have to make do with the provisions we can make room for:arrgh!:

Clay Blair says six.

Whenever conflicting research results came about... Clay Blair's work is what we consider to be the "definitive" source.

Would it be possible in GWX to make some kind of balance for 'convenience'/'supplies' vs 'extra torpedo' (since, apparently, the 6th torp didn't really have stowage, and needed to be lashed down on the deck, seriously getting in the way)?

Perhaps - have the crew fatigue faster on patrols where the extra torpedo was carried?

What you mean "we", paleface? I thought you said you would at least share how to change it back.:p

What I mean by "we" is the GWX Devs. If and or when we run into a data research conflict, we've decided that Clay Blair will decide the direction we take.

If you wish to change the torpedo loadout of your Type IIA, find the following data block in SilentHunterIII/data/Cfg/Basic.Cfg:

[SUBMARINE_AMMO0]; IIA
Type=0
Version=0
ForeTubes=3
AftTubes=0
ForeResIntern=3 Change this number to 2
ForeResExtern=0
ForeResExtra=0
AftResIntern=0
AftResExtern=0
ShellSlots=4
NbYears=7

For the Type IID find:

[SUBMARINE_AMMO1];IID
Type=0
Version=1
ForeTubes=3
AftTubes=0
ForeResIntern=3 Change this number to 2
ForeResExtern=0
ForeResExtra=0
AftResIntern=0
AftResExtern=0
ShellSlots=4
NbYears=7
Renown=2

Concerning an alternate fatigue model specifically for the Type II's, we have no plans to create one. The SH3 game engine only supports one fatigue model.

I LOVE YOU, MAN!!!

Seriously, it's been so long since I've been able to play I had forgotten where those files were. It might be fun to switch back and forth and then file a report of the crew complaining "No where to sleep!" :rotfl:
