Annoying torpedo tubes!!!!

[commandosolo2009]

IF I WANT ALL BOW TUBES, THATS IMPOSSIBLE, I CAN ONLY OPEN ONE AT A TIME.

IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS?

SORRY IF REPOSTED

You must be playing vanilla.

I can do that in TMO? Please tell!

I don't know how it works in vanilla, but using RFB you can open all the torpedo tubes, but each one has to be opened separately. I assume that's how it was in real life too. I don't think there was a way to open all the torpedo tubes at the same time

Oh, perhaps I (for once) was too quick?

Thought there was a command for "Open all tubes", but OP meant opening one tube will close the other - can't remember vanilla either

In real life you had people to do the job, so as a commander you could most certainly yell out a "Open all tubes!"

I still play vanilla, ONLY CAUSE SOMEONE STOLE THE STAWBERRIES, and in a Fleet boat you can open all tubes, one at a time.

In the Uboat if you open one it closes the previously opened tube if you use the mouse to select the tube. If you use the W key to select the tube and Q to open it, then you can open all tubes one at a time.

Not from what I've read in the war memoirs, at least not an "open all tubes command."

The captain would yell "Open tubes 1, 2, and 3," or whatever he was absolutely sure was going to be used in the attack. Using tube numbers in the command immediately tells the crew whether it's a bow or stern attack (or both). "Open all tubes" is just a wee bit ambiguous. It does take time to do it in SH4 one at a time, but unless it's a panic situation, there should be plenty of time to set up an attack and open the tubes you need.

Also, for those role-playing for realism.... you'd never actually open all tubes at once unless it was a middle-of-the-convoy attack and you were going to empty both ends of the boat. In real life, flooding a tube was serious business with consequences for maintenance after the attack. If the tube wasn't actually fired, it had to be pumped out using compressed air you might need for other things. The torpedo had to be removed and the tube greased by hand to avoid corrosion. You'd never open a tube "just in case."

I know that not everybody uses a historical approach, and the game has no penalty for opening and closing tubes. At least the requirement to do it one at a time, gets a little closer to the reality.
