realistic torpedo payload

banryu79 · 05-13-15, 02:04 PM

Hey CaptBones, thanks for the explanations, it came in due time as I already started to edit a copy of the basic.cfg file with the idea of creating a mini mod. But I didn't thought that it's really more appropriate to create this as a SH3 Commander mod, thanks for your advice.

For the moment I will focus on the G7a and G7e only cause they cost no renown and I have solid historical info about what it could be considered a typical payload.

I would edit the payload of the different Typ VII for the years 1940 and 1941.

I somewhat feel that's more appropriate to retain the other payloads as they are.

Maybe, if I could find some more historical data I could expand the whole thing.

There were two posts in that thread (by 'Marcello' and 'sublynx' ?) that quoted BdU documentation on "standard" torpedo loadouts for Type VIIC boats. Best of luck in creating your mini-Mod.

www.uboatarchive.net has BdU's war diary and some KTB's of U-boats from different years. Some KTB's tell which type of torpedoes they shot during the patrol, others have torpedo shooting reports atttached where they state the torpedo types as well. BdU's war diary has some mentions about torpedo loadouts. Rudewarrior's JFO! mod has collected that info.

A mod like that would be very cool indeed. The info is sketchy though, and it seems the type VII's operating manual was not always followed.
