Torpedo doors

Mach's gut!

Thanks Schoneboom. I don't necessarily want to fire all torps at the same target, but to be able to select a tube and fire my bow torps at different targets in quick succession without the need to open the tube doors before hitting the fire button, if you see what I mean.

Someone posted a long time ago IIRC that if all forward tubes are open, then opening a rear one may well mean a forward one closes. Or something like that :hmm:
Now Im gonna go and check when I get back home

Hi Jim:
That's what happens with any torp tube when you select another from peri station. You change tube but the one you had selected before closes.
If you select the tubes from the TDC, they don't close, you can open all of them, but for sure you knew this.

I open all of them by right-clicking on the weapons officer, thenlook up to the torpedo switches and open them that way.
I sometimes go to the conning tower and control the switches that way, too.
Both will work.
