Default opening more then one door

Hey guys how do you open more then one torpedo door at a time without right clicking the weapons officer and doing it manually if I'm at the uzo or periscope and select tube 1 then hit q and select tube 2 to open it up it automatically closes tube 1 doors

as far as I know, you need to select "salvo" when on the TDC page...

You can right click on the weapons officer or go into conning tower. Manually open doors with the switches. When at attack periscope or uzo if you select another tube the one you were on will close. it's a glitch I guess. Pick the tube you want to fire first, then you can open all the doors.

For rapid firing from individual tubes I use 'q' (open door), 'ctrl-enter' (fire tube) and then 'y' (cycle to next tube), 'q' etc - repeat as required. It's clumsy but the fastest rate of fire I've found after ten years of gameplay.

You can also open all the doors using the switches in the first attack periscope view - from the conning tower click the 'scope and you find yourself sitting in the seat looking at but not through the 'scope.

Using the above method (opening all the tubes) I've found I can fire pretty quickly using the mouse. On the other hand in real life they fired a minimum of eight seconds apart to avoid interference between torpedoes.

In the MaGui mod, Mak makes a commands.cfg edit that allows you to open the doors and keep them open until you either fire or close them.

I don't have the readme in front of me, but I can check it later.

That should keep the tubes open when you cycle to the next one. I credit Mak with this.

Be careful... there is little room in Tupelov's heart for anyone but Tupelov, also, he has a nasty habit of disabling all the safety settings on his torpedoes
