Questions 4 exp skippers

[uss_cucumber]

I am using SH4 WoP version 1.0,and want to ask a few questions:

1.How do i re-arm my torps once all tubes r empty?I know i have
to go to port,click anchor button,and only thing i get is fuel !!!
I dont get neither deck gun/aa gun shells,nor torps ! Bummer.
Is it possible only in campaign,or it can be done in quick missions
and patrols?I have many quick missions created by myself in editor,
so it would be a real bummer if i cant refit torps @port.

2.When destroyer ship spots you,how deep can his bombs drop?
And should i use decoys while crash diving/evading before chasing
destroyer?

3.I read in SH manual that torpedo deep should be set on '20' for
battleship class,but thats too deep,and torps are coming lower than
the ship hull is.Should i make it like 15 or something?I would really like
to see how that magnetic contact torp is working

Thanx all 4 answers,i know i am borring and new and stupid,but i just
have to ask 10-4, Cucumber over and out.

You might be surprised to learn that at the times you've posted most people are fast asleep....
I'm sure you'll get all the info you need (and more...) in the course of the DAY....

1. in campaign mode you can rearm at any friendly port with an anchor. Have no idea if it works in quick missions(never tried any)

2. It can drop bombs far deeper than you can dive. I never use decoys unless i have been discovered and they are closing in on my position. That is.. once an enemy DD is starting its final run for me, i drop the decoy and make a sharp turn, stop engine and "drift" for a while.. thuogh it all depends on the situation.

3. if you are using the magnetic detonators you should set the dept of the torpedo to no more than 3 feet lower than the keel dept found in the manual. If in high seas, use contact instead.

I run my torps at about 15-20 feet. There is no sound way to avoid or evade Destroyers its all sorta fly by the seat of your pants.

Thanx

DDs really bugs me!They r always around convoys,protecting the
''valuable ones'' inside,and at even slightest sign of danger,they r
all rushing toward me,droping bombs and wrecking havoc
Azizuki is really hatred name for me !!! Agrrrr !!!

As for the topr deepth,now its ok,everything works just fine
Thanx once more.Just cant reload those dan torps,still

First of all you're going to have insurmountable bugs with version 1.0. You need to patch at least up to version 1.4. All patches are available in the downloads area of Subsim. All you have to do is apply patch 1.4, which includes all previous patches.

Even there you will be at a disadvantage for using any mods because with Silent Hunter 4 U-Boat Missions (SH4UBM) came patch 1.5. Just about all mods are written for patch 1.5 and will have problems with a patch 1.4 game.

Buying SH4 Gold is the best solution for that for several reasons I won't go into. The most important reason is a great price and everything on one DVD.

Nothing could be truer.

"Passing thermal layer"
Sweet sweet words.

You should try surfacing and duking it out with your deck gun and AAA. That is one sure way to get aquick resolution to the problem
