Are you rigged for silence?

Nope. Nor were the tube doors open. This is why I was quite frustrated by this, as there didn't seem to be any logical reason for the issue.

Well, there are only a few possibilities for such a scenario.
Get more (qualified) crew into the compartment and an officer too.

Make sure silent running is off - reestablish SR and then switch back again.

Check the 3D situation for the tubes. Switches at the WEPS station clear? F12 to the outside and check the tube caps to be closed.

Do you play with sabotage/malfunctions on?

Hmm. Well, I'll have to double-check everything once I put my captains hat on again today.

Sabotage/malfunction settings are switched on, but obviously I didn't take that into account when thinking about this.. Sabotage? On my sub? On my maiden voyage? Never!

Let's hope I can figure out what the heck's causing trouble.

Thanks for all the suggestions again.

Press the letter i key to bring up the torpedo loadout/inventory screen.

Look to be sure that there is a check mark next to AUTO LOADING in the upper left hand corner.

If Autoloading is off (unchecked), tubes can be loaded only manually by you. Spare eels will show as "in que awaiting loading".

You also need a weapons officer in the control room for loading to occur.

and remind Bernard to close the outer doors on the tubes before he opens the inner doors to reload.

Welp, the same problem still plagued me today. Checked everything you guys suggested and still the buggers insist on being in queue.

Must check everything one more time.. This is highly frustrating.

Try cycling the torpedo tubes by hitting the q ( w maybe I forget) key a few times. That has solved my identical issue in the past. Also toggle silent running on and off to make sure. V
