I have a question:
The last three torpedoes are in fore reserves or they are on theirs "slots" (fore tubes) with gray color?
Maybe you disabled automatic torp reaload then eels can't be move from reservs to fore tubes
like here:



if you enable "Auto loading" your torps will be automaticly transfer from fore reserves to tubes like here:



or maybe you haven't enough crew to reload like here:

Check if the tubes are open to the outside. Your crew is not stupid...

and to check if the tubes aren't open go to the tower and check there.

Or just cycle through all tubes press Y then W repeat till all are closed.

Hm AFAIK there is no external torpedoes on IIA!

*slaps forhead* Doh!!!!

And here I let Benard strap one down in the watch tower!!!! :rotfl:

'k, i'll try to get to everyone . no damage; fully crewed; no silent running, on the surface; torps aren't stowed, but are in the tubes "waiting"; toggled auto load and dragged/dropped. one thing mentioned, tho. Mittelwaechter, unlike SH4 could it be that the outer tube doors don't close automatically? cuz if they don't, then that's just...looney:p . i'll have a look later and see if the doors are closed . as for Bernard, he's down in the bilge seeing if the water there is suitable for making tea .

yup, tube doors were closed. started a new career with a VII. gonna see if i get the same thing, but i doubt i'll get anything in AN24

[Capt. Shark Bait]

got me a VIIb and it's the same, eels in the queue...waiting. sent 2; one hit a DD. might remove GWX later just to see what happens
