Flood tubes?

I saw a scene in Das boot when the captain said to flood tubes 1 to 4, why this doesnt show on SH3?

It does. You use 'Q' to 'open tube doors' and that's exactly the same thing, as after opening water fills the space around torpedo, pushing air off.

Its not the same thing, because in the movie he said flood tubes and afterwards said to open torpedo doors.

Ok now you are knit picking!!! There are a lot things that are not historically correct in the movie but with that said....I believe you do flood tubes and then open doors...anyone?????:hmm:

Nope, opening the doors allows the water in, hence flooding the tubes.

Here is our only question. Tube full if air, do not want to see air go to surface thus alerting vessel you are aiming for. Are the tubes not flooded to eliminate the air then doors opened?

You would flood them all if you selected salvo, then q to open the doors. Same for single shots. For added effect go into your sound files and increase the volume on that particular sound file.

You can do this with Sound Recorder in Windows.

opening ya tubes before firing makes sure there is no delay. if you fire with the tubes closed there is a delay in firing this in my experience makes the torp more likely to miss.
