Welcome to Subsim

Go to .....SH3\data\cfg folder

Locate basic.cfg

Open the basic.cfg file with notepad

Use the function tool CTRL-F to locate [TORPEDO_TYPE9];T XI (G7es)


You will get something like this
[TORPEDO_TYPE9];T XI (G7es) – Zaunkφnig II
Idx=9
Year=1944 ---> change to 1939
Month=7
PrototypeYear=1943 --> change to 1939
PrototypeMonth=11 --> change to 10
Renown=1000 ---> change the value to your liking

Hope that helped

Just changing the availability date for something doesn't make it appear.


For example, the default torpedo load-out is scripted by boat type and year in [SUBMARINE_AMMO#]:boat type in /data/Cfg/Basic.cfg

This example is for a type VIIB in 1939:

[SUBMARINE_AMMO2]; VIIB
Type=1
Version=0
ForeTubes=4
AftTubes=1
ForeResIntern=4
ForeResExtern=1
ForeResExtra=2
AftResIntern=1
AftResExtern=1
ShellSlots=10
NbYears=7
Renown=3
SNK_MASK=NSS_Uboattype7_SNK_mask
Year0=1939
ForeTube00=0 ;T1
ForeTube01=0
ForeTube02=0
ForeTube03=0
ForeResIntern00=0
ForeResIntern01=0
ForeResIntern02=0
ForeResIntern03=0
ForeResExtern00=0
ForeResExtra00=0
ForeResExtra01=0
AftTubes00=0
AftResIntern00=0
AftResExtern00=0
Z01_00=3 ; VIIB/1
M01_00=1
A01_00=8
SuperCharger_00=1260; GWX V2.1: was -1, so this boat now has GW turbos by default
Snorkel_00=-1
Batteries_00=1265
AftBatteries_00=1265
Hydrophone_00=1270
Sonar_00=-1
Radar_00=-1
RadarWarningReceiver_00=-1
Decoy_Launcher_00=-1
SonarCoatings_00=-1
RadarCoatings_00=-1
Renown0=2500



You would have to change the appropriate numbers in the red script

However, I don't know the correct codes to be used. Someone else here may know - probably one of the GWX modders.

I suspected something like that but like you I don't know what to change. OTH, Danny didn't seem to have to do this - ref. his earlier posting.

I'm using a Type IXB - 1940.

Maybe you didn't save the changes in basic.cfg.

Doesn't the torpedo show up in the ammunition screen?

I changed and saved it in basic.cfg. - using notepad. When I went out and back again the change was there.

No it doesn't - not under torpedoes, anyway.
