[WSBot]

Fixed for the next update.

Can confirm this issue still present in 1147.23:



Do you need a savegame?

The fix was made after .23 and so will be in the next build

A further note, this also prevents submarines from automatically switching their torpedoes to mines when assigned to a minelaying mission.

This can be worked around manually by leaving an empty space in the magazines, although the player must understand the 1 mine = 0.5 torpedoes rule. Leaving only one mine worth of space is not enough, and will cause the magazine error when the sub starts trying to lay mines.

Was this raised as a separate issue, or was it just bundled into a general 'full magazine - no swap out on subs' issue? I can't seem to see this in the defect list or threads.[&:]

Note that the fix is to stop the spawning entries in the magazine which can lead to a lockup or crash.
The ability to swap out a load when the magazine is full, is yet to be addressed but a fix for this is also likely in the next build.
Probably what happened is that a fix to stop overloading a magazine (sometimes a magazine managed to end up with 100's more above its maximum capacity) was applied sometime in the past, and this has highlighted the sub 'full load - swap out' issue.

I posted it in this thread in the response you quoted. It was not in a separate thread.

He seemed pretty proud of it when he wrote. I wish I could put the entire thread in a sig.
