Tube 1 cant load eels, help!!!

commandosolo2009 · 01-01-11, 09:16 AM

Hey guys, urgent!!

I'm at Honiara and I got only 3 tubes working, the 2,3,4 for tubes are functional, no damage at all, only tube 1 wont load the refitted reserves.
Sounds familiar?

Sounds damaged to me, if not destroyed. Very familiar with it....sucks.

commandosolo2009 · 01-01-11, 10:16 AM

How did it happen? and its back just so you know.

My only guess is that it somehow took some minor damage, and then was repaired. Local crew will repair damage if it's not to severe.

If you go no warning, and didn't see anything happen that could cause damage, then I have no more guesses. Sorry.

Sometimes damage to tubes will happen and not show, so pay attention to the damage messages. I'm not sure if I would call it a bug. Sometimes I think the damage is connected to exterior damage at the torp bulkhead, so it damages them, but doesn't show up as torp tube damage on your damage screen. Look outside at your tubes and see if they appear damaged?

Also if you save and reload, unrepaired damages will still be there, but the reload clears the damage screen.

If you're not being attacked and this just happens for no reason, something is fubar in your system.

Armistead, I play @ 100% difficulty, with VERY DIFFICULT setting. would be hard to even hump it out to the forward of the boat even on surface, to check the torp doors. On second thoughts, maybe keelhaul my grease monkey mate, since he's

responsible for the torp doors and failed to report it damaged when I was ready to fire. But, since keelhauling is an old thing, maybe tie his leg to an eel and fire the bastard to the Japs.

I play with cams off, only takes about a min to use your man cam to go look, but you do have to be surfaced.

hey! in the manual, it states I can write (rename the pencil X marks on map)

Map toolS/orderS
MAp NOTES
• With this tool you can place marks on the map . Each mark will have a generic name when
placed (Mark 1, Mark 2, etc) .
• You can modify this name (18 characters max .) and attach a note (54 characters, centered,
max . wide 18 characters) .
• You can delete this mark .

? do you know how to do so?

Had the same thing happen to me. All four tubes on my S-boat became inoperable! I couldn't figure out why or any way to fix them. I ended up going home with all my torpedos and zero tonnage. Not a good patrol.

Perhaps the damadge was from a deep test dive or from rough weather- never figured it out.

Aint that a bitch!!! So, I decided to return with all tubes expended, and 1 faulty. I guess we got alot to learn from aye?
