My crew thinks I'm retarted

But suffice it to say, as an officer, if your men only think you are retarded, then you are in good shape.

Ha ha yeah, but I'm not to much of kaptian material at this moment.

say, where are you guys looking ? My salvo knob in the "F6" just shows two settings. Single fire and salvo. If I turn it to salve all three torps light up and are fired at the same time.

I just want to shoot two torps at once.. i'm missing something here.

Next to the slavo selector switch (to the left) a nice big switch is locat and ther you can select other tubes.

P.s. this should also be visible in the conning tower

Good job staying alive - seems to me there are too many captains here that loose boats on a regular basis, or have a death wish. (no names mentiond *cough* Brag *cough*)

Keep up the good work

Stupidity kills. Rarely would a real-war skipper consider antics that are frequently shown on forum as great achievements.

Going against DDs etc. with no room to manouver would been something no Type II (or other sub, but especially Type II) commander would consider unless really desperate.
Like Erwin Rommel said: " Difference between risk and gamble is that when you take a risk, you can recover from loss."

I'm not getting something here in reference to a two torp salvo shot.
Type IID boat.
F6 key brings up the TDC...
There is a single/salvo switch...put that to salvo & all three torps light up and fire all together.
There is a nice big switch to the left of that, but it appears/seems to be for selecting just one torp at a time...unless I'm not doing a step that I should be doing, I'm just not able to get "two only" torps to light up & fire together while leaving the 3rd torp unfired.
what am I missing here?

PapaG39 · 08-18-07, 03:47 PM

Oh boy!... Guess I am retarted... I just did a closer look after setting up the torps again & low & behold..there it is on that big ol switch... a-way to fire any selected two torps...duhhh
