electric torpedoes in rear tubes

Texas Red · 04-21-20, 03:03 PM

Oh I'm not sure about the realism part. In the game UBOAT, though, you can preheat torpedoes in a type VII sub in the fore or aft tubes. I think from watching it they would take it out of the tube.

I don't think I'm of much help here. Sorry.

EDIT

Yes I think they did actually. The U-47 was outfitted with all G7e TII torps for the raid on Scapa Flow.

thats a bad example, they could and must use t2 in harbour, even no preheated should be enought to hit stationaries targets.
not preheated torpedoes should not have a fix speed and its very probable an unknown speed to TDC, ot of tarpedoes tables to make a BTDC tactic to avoid range discrepance...

Well, then I am of no help. Sorry if that came off as rude.

Type 7A uboats had an external tube, so electric torps would never go in there because you can’t preheat. Later models they could and did.

The rear tubes were loaded with Eto in base, as they could be serviced while on patrol. The torpdoes under the rear floor panels however, were Ato, as they could not be serviced, until being loaded in the tubes.
