help!, torpedoes not loading

brendan · 01-13-09, 08:13 AM

after firing all my fore tubes, sometimes none of them will load. i will assign a full torpedo room, with a torpedoman, so my meter is full, but all the loading tubes just say "waiting in queue for loading." i understand they wont load in silent running, but this will happen on the surface. i try to shift the torpedoes in the tubes, check off auto loading, but nothing seems to work, any ideas?

Hover your pointer over each torp
One may have a different message such as not enough crew in stern torpedo room - even though you are loading the bow

And no definately wont load in silent running

It doesn't matter if you are on the surface with diesels running full-bore: If you are in "silent running" mode, they won't reload the tubes.

Welcome aboard brendan.....what version of the game are you playing and what mods if any do you have installed.

You are sure the green bar extends across the length of the screen. :hmm:

i got v. 1.4 out of the box a couple months ago, haven't tried to mod it yet. i didn't think about the silent running thing, i'll try that. right now though i'm submerged directly underneath a convoy, so the destroyers can't get in too close. if i go to all stop and turn off silent run do they normally load?

Well, do you have any torpedoes at all? Loading them underneath destroyers is just asking for a depth charging.
