Agreed! I like the speed of them too. They may seem em coming, but dont have the time to do anything about it.

I have similar issues to torp loadout if I save/load the game before I have shot off any. Which happens often when I only get 1/2 hour to play at a time (dang kids). I'll leave port with my preferred loadout, save, come back later and I've got some horrible default loadout again! Arrgghh!

Use the mini tweek you can set out your torp load out to anything there and save it. so when you start up sh3 you will have all the torps you selected all the time.

Once the TIII is available I don't use steam torps anymore (except the 2 steam FATs I'm stuck with because of the bugged IXD2 loading screen). By that time the escorts are getting tough and you might as well fire a star shell as a steamer. They'll converge directly on your location, even if none of them were in position to see the torpedo wake. Use a TIII and they remain relatively oblivious.

If you are at the end of a calendar year, and the next patrol starts in the new year, there is a bug that will reset your loadout to the default loadout for the new year. If not in December/January, disregard.

After getting my VIIB it no longer seems to be an issue.
I found the online community manual just after posting here too but thanks for the help.

The tweaker is great, but the temptation is hard to resist. Must resist giving IIA a default loadout of Zaukonig IIs . . .

Wolfie's Sub Tweek is what I'm trying to use. When I arrive back in port and before I start my next mission, I start the sub tweek and set my VIIB torpedoes for G7a for all tubes and externals, but when I start my next mission, my and I check my sub while still in the "office" I see that I have been loaded with the "stock" loadout for SH3. Why doesn't my tweek work. I have tweeked all years.
