You're not trying to load them from the external reserve straight into the tubes are you?

You have to drag them to your internal reserve first, them wait an hour whilst this is carried out, then you can load your tubes.

If you are trying this and it's still not working then I'm not sure what the problem is.

thank you Max, that was it. I was trying to drag them straight to the tube no the reserve slot. Now they are both moving.

Once again thank you everyone for the support here.

Patrol 17 done, 5 ships sank for 25,500 tons and 1 aircraft. The western approaches to Brest are a VERY dangerous place for British aircraft. I got attacked by a dozen before I hit the open water. I encountered a mini convoy of 2 ships and found a bug. I hit the M25x and it went dead in the water, the big T2 in front stopped. I mean literally stopped. I used the rest of my torpedoes and sank them both. No escorts or warships at all this trip, but my patrol zone was near the Azore islands. I was going to venture near the straits of Gilbraltor but i was bingo on ammo for deck gun and torpedoes. I accidentally sank the Hipper also. I was watching it in my periscope and after i had fun doing that I went to hit TC up and hit the enter button. Do you guys know what the enter button does? Well a spread of 3 torpedoes went 600m straight into the side of the Hipper and it sank in about 10 seconds. I got a medal for it. hmmmmmm. Is there something I dont know about here. I get a medal for sinking our own heavy cruiser?

I think “Enhanced Damage Effects” is an optional mod in GWX3 GOLD

Quite correct.

i have been sitting with a ship for 33 hours to see if it will sink. I hit it with a keel shot. It slowed to 3 knots then 1 knot, then stopped. Huge fire burning around the bridge. Water is to rough for my deck gun. Let's see if it goes down.

33hours?

You've a lot more patience than me matey

scottj63 · 08-19-11, 08:27 AM

Jimbuna, it ended up taking 44 hours to sink. made my patrol 5 ships for 18,600 tons. 4 patrols for 39,900 total now.

I will download the JSMGE (or whatever it is called) when i get home in the Philippines. I am also going to download your GWX then also. I am really looking forward to that.
