Hello rudewarrior

I continue at work.

But a new question: this is a write error in the readme?
range of the G7e/TII to 3000 km - sure mean 3000 m (meters)

I have not found specification for Torpedo.sim
Which values should I?

Yes, that is correct, it should be 3000 m.

I'm sorry I am not sure I understand what you are asking me here. I don't know if you are using a translator, but I would suggest using Google translate. You could try and type it in the original German, I might be able to determine what you are saying.

If you are talking about editing the Torpedo.sim file, you need to use something like Silent 3ditor, and then edit property 19 which is for the TII. In the property tree under Speeds [1] it has an entry for [0], expand that and you can edit the range of the torpedo.

I hope this helps!

Hello rudewarrior

It confused me, I have in all Torpedo.sim type=II range=3000 and speed=28.
Also in my original backup. If this is not the stock value?

The G7e/TII torpedo needed to be heated with a battery before being placed in the torpedo tube. When fully heated, the torpedo has a range of 5000 m and speed of 30 kts. The bigger mods, e.g. GWX, generally use these values. However, the torpedo would generally cool while in the torpedo tube, due to its proximity to the ocean and its typically lower temperatures. During a period of time, the torpedoes were not being heated due to the depth-keeping issue/torpedo crisis. An unheated torpedo had a range of 3000 m at 28 kts.

This should be the torpedo setting for this time.

Thank you rudewarrior

Now a lot of light at the end of the tunnel.
Use these values, so that the mod makes sense.
Have posted in the topic Marine Sim.

regards
