Has anyone some detailed, technical information about preheating of the G7e T II?

Hi,

does anyone have some technical knowledge about the preheating of the G7e TII torpedoes? From what I gathered the speed/range of the torpedo without preheating was 28kn/3000m and with preheating 30kn/5000m (in GWX it seems to be a mixture: 28kn/5250m).

How did the preheating work? Was there a special device in the torp for it or was it done via some external device? How long took it? Could it be done from the beginning of the war or did it start only later? I am asking because I am thinking about making the speed/range date-dependent via SH3 Commander (early war 28/3000, later 30/5000). Any information would be great!

Cheers, LGN1
