Issues with torpedo loading

Mittelwaechter · 02-13-12, 04:20 PM

IIRC - torpedos are loaded while WEPS station isn't taken. You don't get information about loaded tubes - the officer isn't there to tell you - but the loading sequence works despite of that.

Just ran a test and you are correct, Sir. I'll edit my post accordingly.

I think that's correct, but only if you leave the 'auto-reload' option checked. Otherwise you have to have the station 'manned' to order reloads.

No need to feed the TDC while loading torpedos.

The WEPS station has not to be manned for reloading the tubes; auto-loading checked/unchecked is irrelevant either.

Respectfully, (and I just tried it twice to confirm):

With SH3 + GWX, empty torpedo tubes will NOT reload with AUTO LOADING unchecked, no matter how many poeple - qualified or not - are in the torpedo room and no matter whether the Weps station is manned or not.

Unchecking (off) autoload allows you as the player to manually reload any empty tube with any internally available eel, but the game won't do it unless autoload is checked (on). The Weps station does not have to be manned to do this manually.

This is exactly how SH3/GWX works for me.

Hmmm. I've been using 'integrated orders' for so long I suppose there must be a hotkey to bring up the torpedo load out screen without the WO being at his station. Asking the WO for torpedo loadout/reloading data is the only way I know to access it.

Since I use the 'no fatigue' option on Commander I just keep everyone at their stations and just manually rotate the bridge watches out of habit and for change of faces.

So many replies.

But so much useful information too! Thanks a lot guys!

I'm sort of baffled by the lack of "lol noob" comments around here. Then again, this isn't your average Counter-Strike or Battlefield forum.

Since I'm on a roll with this "asking silly questions" thing:
Did I lose the tonnage from that one british merchant ship I sunk in the patrol grid I was supposed to be patrolling because I saved and exited the game after the sinking? Mind you, a fair deal away from the wreck, but still. It shows up in my captain's log and on the map, but not in the patrol report.
