Hello,

I have a question regarding a potential issue with the animation of torpedo doors on U-boats.

In the game Silent Hunter III, the sequence of torpedo door operation is divided into two distinct stages: the bow door opens first, and once that's complete, the muzzle door opens.

However, evidence suggests that in reality, both doors should open simultaneously. This is evidenced by:

A photograph showing the muzzle doors concealed behind the bow doors, available at: https://i.postimg.cc/1XJLcb1C/VIIC-open-bow-doors.jpg

I was wondering if this issue has been raised before, and if anyone has attempted to rectify it with a mod.
