Default Bunged torpedo tube?

I was playing the game the other night, and after shooting an electric torp, I was unable to reload the tube with a steam torp, even though several were left. I tried adding the weapons officer, adding/removing men from the torp room, and checked that the torp tube wasn't damaged. I also tried cycling the tube open and closed, but that didn't seem to be working. Other tubes opened and closed just fine. Any thoughts? I just treated it as if my boat had a glitch in one of its tubes and kept sailing (and racked up 60K worth of merchants!).

On a similar note, is there any cure or calibration for a deck gun that's shooting wild? Often if they take hit, even if repaired, they don't shoot straight, or even reliably off to one side. I can usually compensate, but not always. It was a hell of a lot of fun trying to shoot a trawler with a warped gun in 9 knot winds! Frankly, I'm surprised that I was able to use the gun in that weather, but I didn't complain. I was surprised that 2 out of the 11 merchants that I ran into were armed (Oct. 1940). That was an unpleasant surprise! But they went down any how with a softening-up torp to give my gunnery the advantage. :p

Nope. Good idea, but I checked and I was also able to load the other tubes as they were used.

was the door still open and were you deeper than 20 meters? thats usually what happens to me when I try to switch torpedoes

it wont let you close the tube and it wont let you load the tube while open
