I'm asking because I'm working on making a Coastal Torpedo Battery. I replaced the gun of the Medium Bunker with a torpedo rack, which might look nice (I haven't tested it in-game yet), but of course doesn't actually fire torpedoes. And if I replace the rack with the virtual torpedo launcher, the bunker will be empty.

PS: How will them missiles work?

It is all possible. A tracking launcher is more complex. The easist way for you to do a non-tracking would probably be an addition of it to the 3D model of the bunker:

-Extract a 3D model of the bunker with Pack3D
-Extract a torpedo launcher 3D model with Pack3D (version which can do that) from the guns.dat from the Library folder
-Add the torpedo launcher model to the 3D model of the bunker using say Wings3D
-Import the latter model back to the bunker file

For me, the easiest way would be adding an additional #cfg node for the virtual torpedo launcher in bunker's DAT using hex-editing.
