After sub upgrade, no Internal/External reserve torpedoes?

Februrary 1943. Using Wolves of Steel 1.05 mod.

Just got given a new uboat. I can now have the quad flak cannon and 3.7mm flak cannon.

However, when I go to load torpedoes, there are no internal or external torpedo slots shown on the loadout screen.

What's broken?

Try to reload and let me know if everything shows correctly please :)

I saved in the bunker and re-loaded and still no torpedoes. I'm not sure what the skin should look like so I can't tell if I have the right one or not.

Yup, u-flak is what I have. Why no internal/external torpedo reserves?

Did you check the link I gave you?

Yes. But it doesn't provide any specifics to torpedo loadout.

Are you trying to say that the game-modeled u-flak has the correct number of torpedoes for a historical u-flak?

The fuel capacity was limited to Bay of Biscay operations only. Only 5 torpedoes were carried - in the tubes - for self-defence (room was needed for additional gunners taken aboard).

Because of the limited fuel capacity and torpedo load U-flaks were not suitable for normal operations. At the same time the standard AA armament for U-boats was no longer much inferior to U-flaks. This and lack of success made U-flaks somewhat redundant.

That link makes it clear, thanks.
