I have been unable to change load-outs so far . Wolfie's tweaks don't seem to work on my PC.

Nothing corresponds in the .eqp file, and changing the basic.cfg in BOTH the CFG root directory, or Data\CFG\basic.cfg seem to do anything.

Could SubCommander be interfering adjusting it back to historical?

What else needs to be changed?

All I'm looking for really, is a few late-war acoustic homing torpedo's to wipe out the destroyers .

Destroyers are easy enough to destroy without acoustics, at least until they get hedgehogs,

If you haven't added anything to SH3 Commander's Cfg/Static settings.cfg file, try putting these lines at the end:

;VIIB in '43
SUBMARINE_AMMO2|ForeTube41=5 ;Falke
SUBMARINE_AMMO2|ForeResIntern41=5 ;Falke
SUBMARINE_AMMO2|AftTubes40=5 ;Falke
SUBMARINE_AMMO2|AftResIntern40=5 ;Falke

;VIIC in '43
SUBMARINE_AMMO3|ForeTube41=5 ;Falke
SUBMARINE_AMMO3|ForeResIntern41=5 ;Falke
SUBMARINE_AMMO3|AftTubes40=5 ;Falke
SUBMARINE_AMMO3|AftResIntern40=5 ;Falke

;VIIC in '44
SUBMARINE_AMMO3|ForeTube51=6 ;Zaunkoenig
SUBMARINE_AMMO3|ForeResIntern51=6 ;Zaunkoenig
SUBMARINE_AMMO3|AftTubes50=6 ;Zaunkoenig
SUBMARINE_AMMO3|AftResIntern50=6 ;Zaunkoenig

;VIIC in '45
SUBMARINE_AMMO3|ForeTube61=6 ;Zaunkoenig
SUBMARINE_AMMO3|ForeResIntern61=6 ;Zaunkoenig
SUBMARINE_AMMO3|AftTubes60=6 ;Zaunkoenig
SUBMARINE_AMMO3|AftResIntern60=6 ;Zaunkoenig

;IXC/40 in '44
SUBMARINE_AMMO8|ForeTube31=6 ;Zaunkoenig
SUBMARINE_AMMO8|ForeResIntern31=6 ;Zaunkoenig
SUBMARINE_AMMO8|AftTubes30=6 ;Zaunkoenig
SUBMARINE_AMMO8|AftResIntern30=6 ;Zaunkoenig

;IXC/40 in '45
SUBMARINE_AMMO8|ForeTube41=6 ;Zaunkoenig
SUBMARINE_AMMO8|ForeResIntern41=6 ;Zaunkoenig
SUBMARINE_AMMO8|AftTubes40=6 ;Zaunkoenig
SUBMARINE_AMMO8|AftResIntern40=6 ;Zaunkoenig

This should give you 4 Falke's in type VII B and C in 1943 and 4 Zaunkoenigs in type VIIC and IXC/40 in '44 and '45. You can make similar changes for other boat types/years/tubes/etc.

Cautions:

1) I haven't got the latest version of SH3 Commander installed. The above instruction assumes that the last config file referenced in Static settings.cfg is still:
[data\Cfg\Basic.cfg]

2) I haven't tested those lines. They are adapted from what I actually do for my own setup, which is a bit more convoluted.

He said "late war", so DDs have hedgehogs.

My thanks to you Mr. Larson,

I know it's not historically accurate, but sometimes I'm pretty much spending an hour (real time using TC) to escape the DD's after hitting a convoy.

It'd be nice to just sink the buggers, bug out 50km's away - save, then go to bed.

Am going to plug that info in tomorrow, and see how it goes. I was using this page ( http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...3/m/9051019517 ) as guide of sorts as to how to modify the loadouts, but nothing seemed to work.

Thanks again, bed time already .

Edited - Yup, that worked! Have modified it a little bit, nice to know it's a Commander issue, I can now merely 'tag' stuff onto the .cfg file in Commander and make things work - Thanks!
