Can’t Rearm Ariel Torpedoes

Post by Califvol »

Ok, what am I doing wrong?

Townsville will rearm naval guns/torpedoes but it will NOT restock ariel torpedoes.

Townsville is now level 5
it has a AD, and AE present both with supplies on board and in port.
The naval support there is 110
and the land supply is +87K

While it will rearm air sorties it will not restock ariel torpedoes.

Thanks in advance.
Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am such a special snowflake that others need my knowledge. What…there are like a billion snowflakes? Oh, well isn't that special.

For Port Sz 5, IIRC, you need 240 Nav Support to rearm TORP Sorties.

See Appendix page 284-288 , for Air Torps -p288

It's also a bug.  Now fixed for patch 2.  AEs won't rearm torpedoes on carriers.

I have a same problem in Auckland (port size 6). My carriers wont rearm torpedoes and all air attacks are made without them. There's plenty of naval support in Aucland, several AE and other support ships too - but no go.

It seems only way to load torpedoes is in Sydney. Is it true that I can't load torpedoes expect in Sydney? It seems port size 7 is needed. This is having a huge effect in my campaign...

What is plenty of Naval Support?

Remember the Nav HQ Naval Support bug....So do you really have 160 NS?

Sometimes CV TFs take two days to replenish because they run out of ops points the first day.  The order of replenishment is: refuel, load gun ammo, load regular air missions, and then load aerial torpedoes last.  If you run out of ops points, the carriers will take on torpedoes on day 2.
