Torpedo reload problems!!

maverick76 · 09-15-08, 02:52 AM

Could anyone help me??

Its 1940. Type boat IXB.

I shot all of my torpedoes. Only some left in the external reserves. Fore and aft tubes are empty and the buttons are GREY.?!

First i put all my best men ( incl. 3x torpedomen) (not exhausted) in the back
to reload my torpedoes from External reserves. I tried it while on surface and submerged. I was not running silently and the complete crew was not exhausted.
I tried it first with autoloading mode and later i turned it to manual.
But without succes. The torpedoes were not even in queque....

I tried it for many hours and after 2 days on sea i had to go back to France with all the torpedoes in external reserves!!!

Does anyone recognize this??

U need to fill bow and stern torpedo compartments with crewmembers to load stern externals. If a loading from external is in progress the eal is greyed out and u can see the status by hovering with the mousepointer over it. If its not greyed out its a rare bug which wil be usually fixed by submerging and surfacing again or a restart. Autoreload doesnt activate loading of externals. The grey or white buttons indicates that no reloading of this tube is in progress. If auto is on it means there are none in the internal reserve slots.

Occasionally in a storm the boat will be pushed back below surface for a few seconds and deactivates the external loading. U can monitoring it by going into crew management screen where the engine crew jumps forth and back between electric and diesel compartments. A resuming of the loading procedure by the game will not happen and the timer for moving them resets.

And you must be surfaced.

If you have an officer with the 'torpedoeman' qualification put him in the bow torpedo compartment. He will increase the loading rate dramatically.
