Has anybody got torpedo 5&6 +aft 3 & 4 working??

Yep, the mine has been done as deployable.
As for modding anything in the game, just cause people may not like it
doesn't mean it should not be attempted.
The things you may stumble across can be amazing.
Heck, playing around with a V-1 Doodlebug got the Air Ships!
From those - Barrage Ballons!
My personnal mod install flies ME 262s, and experimental V-2s also!
Not much use in the game per say but they are a hoot to watch
and like any research project, the end result is not always what you were
looking for but you still discover things.

Yeah the mine was done as a torp variant
I wonder if it could be done as its own model ?
So it looks like a TBM rather than a fish

it occured to me if it hadnt been done that you could make one from a torp with zero speed and unlimited range its how it works thats important it it looks askew ahh! lets face it bernards skin tones look a little more comic book than photo but if he spots the oncoming destroyer great

Yes thats the lines its been done along

Was just thinking out loud
IF a TBM could be made to look different from a torp and then a minelayer uboat made then the possibily exists to take one out for a few patrols and minelay instead
Something different
Of course would be even sweeter if the tubes could be placed vertical so mines fired up
Be a change from the normal missions

All you have to do it make the boat a positive renoun to buy to make up for the renoun lost in tonnage and buying a new boat back after a few patrols

wasnt that tubby little smooth lined minelayer spewing them out the back on dedicate mine rails awe heck what was the type??? it was a beautiful sub.

also how about this little proposal somebody try and twist a couple of over powered hedgehogs and turn them into the missing Rocket Lauching sub
so we can go and shower broadway with sub lauched rocets
cant remember this type either at the moment but it did get built ive seen film of the tests.

The Type VIID was a specialized minelayer designed to lay SMA type mines in British coastal waters. These SMA mines had to be deployed vertically and differed from TMA and TMB mines which were torpedo launched.
Using the layout of the VIIC, a new section was inserted aft of the control room. Five vertical mine launchers, each comprising of three SMA mines were housed in this new section. Further space in this section was used to accommodate additional bunks and two refrigerators. The saddle tanks were also lengthened, allowing a higher capacity of diesel fuel.
The Type VIID was unique in its ability. Because the mine launchers were housed in a completely new section, this meant that the existing structure of the boat remained unchanged. Thus the torpedo and armament functions of the boat were fully operable, allowing the boat to serve a dual role – as minelayer or attack boat. However, due to its increased size and weight, it performed marginally poorer in maneuverability, speed, and diving time. Range was somewhat greater due to the lengthened saddle tanks.
A total of six Type VIIDs were commissioned between August 1941 and January 1942.

my bad - they were the SMA mines fired vertical

yes these where spherical mines as I recall is that right.

It was done by modding a torp but uses the Mine object.
I've got the files but don't have a link in the read me. CB?

If you made say a T2 into the mine as previously described (0 speed unlmtd range) then wouldnt it be a simple reskin of the T2 to make it look different of all the things in 3D moddelling that I dont understand yet would it really be that hard to shorten the wireframe by say 33%
