Of course you only get 5 torpedoes in an early war Type II sub. Try a Type IX and you'll have a larger boat with up to 24 torpedoes in it.

Indeed. Bear in mind also that in SH3, you don't have to start the war in a II (sardine tin?) You can begin in a VIIB if you want, which has 16 I believe.

I'd never been interested in submarines really and was an aviation fan mostly.
Then Reinhard Hardegen is your hero , he also went from aviator to U-Boat Kaleun!

I didn't know Hr. Hardegen was an aviator. Thank you for the info. He's one of the guys at the top of my respect list, and U123 IXB is my favorite uboat, and naval vessel of any type.
My personal recommendation is SH3. It gets harder and more intense as the war progresses.
Although I don't have GWX, I do recommend that you look into it and read the literature they've got out there. Alot of knowledge there from some very fine people. If its more game than sim your looking for, and number of torpedoes is what makes it for you, there is a TweakSub mod that can give you as many as you desire. Although that's not my thing, it may be yours. In either case - enjoy.

Their both great sims and worth every penny.
