electric torpedoes in rear tubes

Aquelarrefox · 04-21-20, 02:45 PM

a time ago i have read that this preheating procedure for electric torpedoes, they werent used in stern tubes... im not sure if who said this speaks about type vii alone, in a type ix doble tubes i bealive theres enouht space to preheat it.
Someone have read something similar?

What game are you playing?
If this is SH4 or earlier, I believe, you cannot preheat torpedoes. I've never been able to do that in SH4 or SH3.

you cannot, but my question is related to get electrical torpodoes in stearn tubes is realistic?
i have had a mod to change range and speed in torpedoes and i get it when i was spoting lost ships and go to direct attack, now i take much time and the loadtime of game is to long...
back in the premise: rear tubes could use electrical torpedoes in type vii and iv?

Oh I'm not sure about the realism part. In the game UBOAT, though, you can preheat torpedoes in a type VII sub in the fore or aft tubes. I think from watching it they would take it out of the tube.

I don't think I'm of much help here. Sorry.

EDIT

Yes I think they did actually. The U-47 was outfitted with all G7e TII torps for the raid on Scapa Flow.

thats a bad example, they could and must use t2 in harbour, even no preheated should be enought to hit stationaries targets.
not preheated torpedoes should not have a fix speed and its very probable an unknown speed to TDC, ot of tarpedoes tables to make a BTDC tactic to avoid range discrepance...

Well, then I am of no help. Sorry if that came off as rude.
