Type II Paranoia

T2s work fine. Set them for impact. True they cannot be set to go faster, but they don't leave bubbles.

If you reload at base and don't have the awards assigned, you should be able to go to the crew tab and reallocate them.

The torpedo loadouts change by year on January 1. If you are selecting your loadout in December, and the date when the game loads is in January, the loadout reverts to the standard loadout for the new year.

Remember in SH3 the type II at Slow runs at 28 kts instead of 30 kts. This may be be an issue if you use manual targeting.

Thanks for the replies, but you're missing the point - my loadout selection wouldn't "stick" when starting the mission. I copied the career, and tried selecting ALL type IIs. On starting the mission, loadout reverted to the mixed loadout I described. Problem has now gone away, as I described above, and the selected loadout "sticks".

Zosimus - couldn't reallocate awards after loading "In base before mission", because they were all null - no awards of any kind listed.

HW3 - I take your point, but I was losing all awards also.

If year changes between patrols manually selecting torps won't help...

Except that it has, eventually -
Re-running the last leg of the previous patrol, re-docking and redoing awards and equipment made the difference.

"In base after mission" Dec 8th. 1940
"In base before mission" Jan 5th. 1941 - All torps are now type Is. Start mission, and type IIs back in tubes 3 & 4. Reload "In base before mission" (All awards and new equipment have "stuck" this time), and change 3 & 4 to type Is yet again, and start mission.
Leave dock Jan 5th. with all type Is loaded.

All is as desired aboard U-53 once more.

I know I did edit the default torpedo loadouts a few years back, because I was really annoyed that you have to do it yourself on start of every patrol.

Can't remember which files those were though...
