Newbie Q: Why can't I select my torpedo tubes?

Vaiar · 01-27-08, 12:42 PM

Hi,

I am currently learning the game and practising with a training ASW-scenario from subguru's site in which you have to find and destroy a Victor III. So far the Victor III has launched seven SS-N-16s at me and I (688i) have launched three Mk48s. However, we are both still very much undamaged.
Now I obtained a great new TMA solution and entered it (called M05). Subsequently, I went to the weapons' screen and selected this track. However, when I want to select the torpedo tubes (all four [re]loaded with Mk48s), it is impossible! They simply won't turn green when I click on them (except for a snapshot, but I don't need that). What do I do wrong?

(The Victor III is about 6600 yards from me, bearing 275, course 140 at 5 knots. My own course is 340 at 5 knots.)

Thanks for your help,

What percentage is your air supply at? Since you state you have reloaded the tubes, I'd imagine this is your problem.

Thanks for the answer. I solved the problem already though. For some reason I classified the contact / track as a torpedo and after changing this into a submarine I could select the tubes and engage. I finally hit the Victor III and sent it to the bottom!!

a little note too always keep the air supply on charge and when you get a chance to ventilate as well.
