electric torpedoes in rear tubes

Aquelarrefox · 04-21-20, 02:45 PM

a time ago i have read that this preheating procedure for electric torpedoes, they werent used in stern tubes... im not sure if who said this speaks about type vii alone, in a type ix doble tubes i bealive theres enouht space to preheat it.
Someone have read something similar?

What game are you playing?
If this is SH4 or earlier, I believe, you cannot preheat torpedoes. I've never been able to do that in SH4 or SH3.

Aquelarrefox · 04-21-20, 02:53 PM

you cannot, but my question is related to get electrical torpodoes in stearn tubes is realistic?
i have had a mod to change range and speed in torpedoes and i get it when i was spoting lost ships and go to direct attack, now i take much time and the loadtime of game is to long...
back in the premise: rear tubes could use electrical torpedoes in type vii and iv?

Texas Red · 04-21-20, 03:03 PM

Oh I'm not sure about the realism part. In the game UBOAT, though, you can preheat torpedoes in a type VII sub in the fore or aft tubes. I think from watching it they would take it out of the tube.

I don't think I'm of much help here. Sorry.

EDIT

Yes I think they did actually. The U-47 was outfitted with all G7e TII torps for the raid on Scapa Flow.

thats a bad example, they could and must use t2 in harbour, even no preheated should be enought to hit stationaries targets.
not preheated torpedoes should not have a fix speed and its very probable an unknown speed to TDC, ot of tarpedoes tables to make a BTDC tactic to avoid range discrepance...

Well, then I am of no help. Sorry if that came off as rude.

Type 7A uboats had an external tube, so electric torps would never go in there because you can’t preheat. Later models they could and did.

that would be the thing i had read!
All type ix poasible could load them in rear, i suposse.

The rear tubes were loaded with Eto in base, as they could be serviced while on patrol. The torpdoes under the rear floor panels however, were Ato, as they could not be serviced, until being loaded in the tubes.

Not sure but I would assume so, as the basic layout of the boats didn't change from type to type.

You are talking of external torpedo, or extra torpedoes in front tubes?

I'm refering to the original post of this thread. So, internal stern tubes.

Aktungbby · 04-23-20, 11:42 AM

Well I'm goin' nuts: what was actually used in the torpedo room to heat the batts to 30 degrees celsius? How long did the process add to the reload procedure? And, is there a photo of one? It's worth noting that as the beast points out, all of Prien's eels were G7e's but I cannot determine if they were preheated for the first salvo: at 1200 meters, only 3 eels departed their tubes!...causing Prien to maneuver to fire the stern eel, also a G7e, which also failed to hit. I cannot imagine in the frantic haste to reload the next salvo in the heart of Scapa, precious time would have been expended preheating the second batch...

I do always preheat in SH-V.

Hi,

I was looking for information about the preheating for many years until someone (I don't remember who it was) pointed me to this web page:

http://www.ubootwaffe.pl/en/u-boats/...german-u-boats

At the bottom you can find lots of information about it. It answers quite a few questions from this thread.

Best, LGN1
