In GWX BdU sends you a radio order about using only impact at an appropriate time, if I remember correctly.

Dönitz's The Conduct of the War at Sea mentions the torpedo failures and subsequent tests in many places but fails to give an exact date.

In BdU's war diary March 1941

http://www.uboatarchive.net/BDUKTB30285.htm

the torpedo problem is widely discussed.


This link (go to page 52 - 53) discusses the torpedo problem with more exact dates.

http://books.google.fi/books?id=eFZb...page&q&f=false

According to the book, the date was 23.5.1940.

Hope this helps
Thank you for the info, and source.
You are fantastic!

Ja. It looks like 23.maj.40 is the day I can have all the magnetic pistols removed.
I guess the depth setting change, from 4 to 3, will also have to wait.

As frustrating as this will be, it should help reduce my tonnage to more historicaly acceptable numbers. (Been modding hard towards that end too.)
