Torpedo reload problems!!

dalton74 · 10-03-08, 05:11 AM

I'm having a question about torpedo's. IS it possible to move the aft reserves to the front side? In the front bow my torpedo's are all gone (include the front reserve torpedo's). (sink a lot of ships

). But in my backside there are a lot of aft reserve torpedo's. My boat is a IXB (late 1940). I clicked on the aft reserve torpedo's and want to drag it to the front reserve or bow but nothing happens.

I'll hope you understand. Sorry for my English.

Nope, you can't do that.

Hi, I am new to SH4 and I had the same problem. Then it suddenly started working and then didn't work at all.

This is how I solved it.

Surfaced.
Action stations. Crews were rested before.
save game.

Load game.
Drag torpedo into reserves
All is well.

I think there is a bug somewhere. It didn't work before saving and loading, but did afterwards. Nothing else changed.

once this happened to me:
forgot to open the torpedo-hatch (better said: I pressed the wrong button in the heat of a convoy-attack) before firing.
it stayed open (didn't close automatically) and when it does you cannot reload until it's closed. tried several manouvers which none of them helped until I could find the open hatch in external view.
after closing it (press "w") everything's normal again.

also are you trying to move to torps from externals to tubes directly because, that won't work you have to move them to storage then to the tubes

What he said.

In order to load external reserves, you must:

1) be surfaced
2) have men in either the forward or aft torpedo compartments (depending on which reserves you are loading)
3) you must DRAG the torpedo from the external reserve to the internal reserve slot. The reserve torpedo will then turn gray and slowly change color as it is moved.

And for realism, Sub should be stopped during external reloads and you can't dive during the reload. I bet plenty captains wouldn't bother with the external reserves, due to the luck factor of not being spotted during the transfer.

That is very true, especially in the latter years
