From what I found, the tubes only track horizontally, then launch the torp out at the target. The firing controls appear to be accsessed on the tube itself. Also, it would appear the torpedos have their own gyros.

By any chance, is it possible to disable the depth charge racks on the destroyers? Because I still have not managed to get any destroyers to use their hedgehog. I was thinking, if the ship cannot use it's depth charges, it would be forced to use hedgehog.

Also, the destroyer should use it's hedgehog above using the depth charges, because the hedgehog is a much more effective anti-submarine weapon. The hedgehog had a 25% kill rate, while the depth charge had a 7%, as we can see, these odds are in the hedgehogs favor, so the hedgehog might not actually work within this game.

Yes - The hedgehogs do work

Try testing with a DD hat has late war equip.
here is part of the equip loadout for the BlackSwan

1944? The stock game does not go that far, so is this a mod? or was it disabled on purpose by the developers? or activated by Open Horizons?

That was just one ship - there are many others.
The point I was making was that you can check the equip file for each ship to see if they have them and from when.
Then you can test in missions

Yes, valuable doc indeed

You deserved your piece of cake

By the way, I've found the SHIV mod that I was mentionig yesterday:

It looks like TDW too has dealt with the same issue in SHIII:

Dunno why, but I was sure that ship mounted torpedo tubes were already working in SH5, with no need of any mod
