Reloading external torpedoes
 

I’ve seen a couple of posts about this but I can’t seem to find them anymore..

As I remember you have to drag external torps in the torpedo screen to the reserve slots and the sub has to be surfaced and not moving on a calm sea.

I’ve tried this. My fore external one has been slowly loading over a period of about two weeks.

What’s the trick?

Nope.

Activate and check the description of torpedoman's "ext.torpedo transfer" special ability and you'll find your answer...:yep:

Is this in game? Do you mean the torpedo man crew member? Via the crew management screen?

Yes

Ah ha! Thanks.

I had a look and the box is checked. It says under the instructions to initiate a dialog with him (F12 key). The problem is F12 takes a screenshot. So does Ctrl + F11 apparently.

What is the dialogue? I tried walking up to him and clicking but the only option is 'speed those boys up".

Any more via F12? If so how do I reconfigure the key?

Edit: I tried using a reassign keyboard mod ('ability 8') but nothing comes up in the way of dialogue.


Cheers.

Are we talking here about TWoS v2.2.18 here or about some custom made modlist?:hmmm: You did activate the ability, right?

Yes I’m using latest version of TWOs.

The ability is activated ...there’s a lit cross in upper right of button. I assume that means activated. All the crew management is very vague.

My first external torp is still loading btw. About 3 weeks of it and it’s about 3/4 done. I’ve just refitted and there’s nowhere for it to go if it ever gets done. I tried again before refit on the surface for several hours but no joy.

I finally managed it.

For the record (in case anyone else searches for this) the ‘active ability ‘ needs to not have the cross symbol top right, but to be fully orange.

Drag torp, go click on Kurt and tell him to initiate, wait 3 or 4 hours and pray for no ac or warships. I started at midnight.

Thanks for all of your help.

:yep::up:

Dammit.

I’m back to square one.

2 subsequent missions and no reloading.
