It's just alot of clutter that doesn't need to be there. The only thing we really needed on the new torpedo panel was a way to control the spread and see what the gyro angle was. And that could be worked directly into the new style panel.

Yes.. i know some of you prefer the historical stuff. Even i do!! But if they aren't needed and only serve to clutter up the display. What's the point?

My thoughts exactly. I've come to really like the new torpedo control , aside from "switching to salvo shooting", the big bennfit with the new way is you can pick which tubes you want in a salvo - dynamically on the fly. Your not limited to preset conditions as defined in the sub's CFG file. I also have come to love the minmalistic approach of the new UI. Less clutter is good, it just needs the lacking info and functions. (spread, gyro angle, and maybe stuff for pattern running torpedos)

Please don't take this as unconstructive criticism. Your doing excellent work.

I also noticed the torpedo doors dont automatically open in salvo mode with this mods controls. I even kept hitting the open/close hotkey and looking in the outside view and saw no change.

I feel the same way. It's exciting.

I'm really leaning on removing the switches and using the stock SH5 type switches (salvo mode, magnetic/impact, and speed). It would make the display look much cleaner.
