External Reserves Torpedo Reload Problem

Captain Nemo · 02-04-09, 06:09 AM

On my first patrol with an IXC boat I have discovered an issue with one of the stern external reserve torpedoes. I have sucessfully dragged one of them to the inside of the boat and loaded in tube 5, but the other one is refusing to budge and the torpedo loading screen is giving me a strange message saying that I have not enough crewmen in the bow torpedo room!

Out of interest, I moved sufficient crewmen to the bow torpedo room and the timer for moving the torpedo came up but stuck at the time indicated. This is a strange one that I never came across in my trusty type VIIB!

Please see the screenshots below that illustrate the problem.

I am using GWX 3.0 with the following mods enabled:

GWX - Merged campaign
GWX - Enhanced Damage Effects
GWX - 16km atmosphere
GWX - Open hatch mod
Torpedo Damage Mod Final
Latest Lifeboats Mod

Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution?

Would it be conditionned to weather conditions like manning deck gun?

To add a bit of realism I always reload from external reserves when sea conditions allow the use of the deck gun, so I don't think this problem is connected with weather. The odd thing, which must be a bug in my mind, is that the torpedo reloading screen is asking me to man the bow torpedo compartment to load a torpedo from the stern external reserves

I believe that you're correct in thinking that it's a game bug. I've also had this happen occasionally when I've used Type IX's and never seen it happen with a Type VII.

Your aft torpedoroom is empty mate. Fill it with crewmembers and it should work.
