Salvos...

SteamWake · 04-17-07, 02:27 PM

I have noticed that when trying to set up a "salvo" that once you set the spread angle and depth on a tube, then switch to a second tube the spread angle stays the same.

Is there no way to "lock in" settings for each tube ? It can be a bit hectic and more than once Ive adjusted the spread angle to say 12 thinking Im setting the depth

Id love to be able to set T1 SA Right 3 depth 10, T2 SA 0 depth 10, T3 SA left 3 depth 10.

When the shot is lined up Fire1, Fire 2, Fire 3

Afer opening the doors of course but thats another topic.

The tubes seem to remain at pre-set depths for me. The rest of the settings can only be locked in one torpedo at a time. That's how it's working for me.

Thats what Im bitchin about.

I wish ALL the settings would remain on a per tube basis. Is this not the way it was in real life ?

Correct me if Im wrong please.

Thats exactly the way it was - only, it was the torpedoes themselves that were set, not the tube. The internal gyro(s) etc. would be set manually by a torpedo mate or electronically from the TDC. I'm not sure whether manual alterations could be made whilst it was still in the tube, or if it had to be removed, altered, and then reloaded.

As I understand it thats the way it was in WW1, SH3 just kind of ignored this fact.

Howeve the Mk 10, 14's could be set externally.

All Im askin for is to be set torpedos on a per tube basis and have it "stick" instead of having to do some last second adjustmets as the "window" slips by.
