I thought about the VIIF before. I remember reading that the main torpedo transport storage area was acutally AFT of the control room. The boat couldn't use them. So technically speaking, the inclusion of that uboat is rather pointless. I've thought about "fudging" it and putting them forward, but it felt kinda cheesy.

edit:
Back on topic, yes i remember reading that prisoner interigation report on uboatarchieve.net. In specific i know the interrigatee said 26 torpedo's. If you d/l and look at the boat plans, you can count the cansiters. Again, i think the answer is BOTH. Orignally 26, but later two canisters were delelted for a snorkel installation, which would put the count to 24 torpedo's. Thats just a theory though.
