Changing the default torpedo settings

VONHARRIS · 12-30-10, 02:20 PM

As you already know the default configuration for TIs is slow speed and magnetic pistol.

I ,on the other hand , use them at fast speed and contact pistols. For realism reasons I don't want to change those settings on the fly during a battle. I use the TIs even at late 1944 , I find them more valuable because of their speed - especially during night attacks.

The question is : How can I set the default settings of the TIs to my liking?
Thank you

I don't know of a way of doing this, although I'm not sure anyone has tried it. Would be interesting to see whether it can be done.

I Can't seem to find an answer for this anywhere.

I do load manually and decide the type of pistol right after loading the tube - as in my homeport while leaving the bunker. I can only change it, if I take the torpedo out of the tube and reload it. Fast speed setting was not used by U-Boats - it was quite unreliable - but speed was switchable after loading the torpedo. The German Schnellboote used the fast setting 'afair'.

I use the G7a in '45 too, but due to their stand off capabilities.

There is a setting for the speed and pistol default with Skwas silent3ditor - but I can't remember the correct file right now. Will do a search these days...

I set all mine to 3 meters & impact before leaving port.

Will keep my eyes open for anything in the files though.

Remember that magnetic pistols are already also set to impact (contact) settings, so there is no need to change your settings.

Of course, you still need to make a proper "impact" approach for it to work.

People say they don't like the dud/premature rates of magnetics, but I feel the bang-for-the-buck and the tactical freedom they offer far outweigh the cost of a miss.
