Default Could torpedo be fired in sequence but manually in RL?

In SH you can flood all tubes but manually fire each tube, while in this game all flooded tubes get fired. For that reason you cannot simple, compute the lead angle, position yourself and manually fire torpedoes, while they go through your periscope, by manually aiming to each compartment.


I believe that in real life it was possible to manually fire them, but i would like to confirm that.


I mean i had fun in SH (3,4,5) to set a Cromwell 45 degree angle attack and simple fire as i wish, here instead i'm forced to use spread mode which is not the same.

UBOAT doesn’t get it right. SH3/5 did with respect to single shots and fan shots.

Generally all tubes were flooded for fire early in the process. Then the order was given for a single shot or series of single shots (“verbundene Einzelschüsse”), or a fan shot (“Fächerschuss”). The selections were made on a switch box beneath the chart table in the control room (on the VII).

Fans were used at longer ranges OR if there was significant uncertainty in target data, the goal being to get at least 1 hit with the assumption that at least one will miss (since the fan covers the entire target length). A series of single shots was used when data was certain, to ensure a valuable target sinks.

The decision to make it how it is in UBOAT is puzzling; the again, I’m constantly puzzled by design decisions vis a vis historical realities in that game…..
