Read the Readme and the Manual.

Backup these Silent Hunter files that you may choose to replace:
CARSUB.DAT
MARU.DAT

Uploaded with the kind permission of Kim Rønhof.

Kim Rønhof made a program called the 'Torpedo Change Tool' that eventually turned into a Swiss Army knife for SHCE, SH v.1.31

Not only can you change your torpedo loadout but it performs the same functions that Hawks SHReal does and even more. With it you can do everything that all of Hawks Utilities do.

I'll upload it again. Someone deleted it last time but I do have permission from Kim to upload it, plus he would be happy to see it used. We used it in the Silent Hunter I Pacific Thunder Campaign (not the off road mudding group : )

From the manual:

This Tool lets you change data in the SH data files. It’s fairly simple to use, just follow the numbers – press buttons and choose
“things” by the number (start with 1 !).

You can change the following data :

The Patrol area.
The Submarine type and name.
The Salmon/Sargo submarine specifications. Warning see note on use !!
The Narwhal/Argonaut fix Warning see note on use !!
The S-boat fix Warning see note on use !!
The gun position (for or aft) – but only on fleet submarines.
The crew experience level.
The Fog setting.
The torpedo load (type of torpedoes, and distribution into tubes and racks)
You can reload fuel and ammo for the gun.
The departure date.
You can change the tonnage, length, beam and draft of the 9 Maru types.

But not all can be done a once, it depends on your patrol status (harbor or on patrol).

Technical stuff :
When the program is started, it reads your roster files (That’s where SH saves your careers). The program changes your roster files in SH.
NO Backup of the roster files are made. And the program changes the Subs.dat file (Gun position + Salmon/Sargo fix) NO backup of the Subs.dat file is made.

NOTE 1 : you can’t take any more torpedoes than the boat can carry, and you can’t input mark14 and 18’s into S, Barracuda and Narwhal type submarines.

NOTE 2: the program reads the Career date, and only lets you choose Subs, Torpedoes and patrol areas that are available at that date.

NOTE 3: You can’t change equipment (radar, bathythermograph). The program only specifies the types the Sub has (In that career file) at the given time.

That’s All Folks

Happy Hunting!
