My Victor-Is torpedoes?

I fired about 8 fish. Shouldn't a sub stock more like 16-20 weapons?
Why won't my tube reload?
Thanks.

I dont know the answer there Mark, but out of curiosity how long did you wait for the tubes to reload?
Also under *Weapons* in the unit info did you check the number of torpedos available? im pretty sure if there are reloads available you will see something like 8/16 which AFAIK means 8 loaded out of 16 available for example.
Just something to check [;)]

No Idea off Hand how many torps can be carried on a Victor sub...
But the answer to your second question is simple:
In HCE Subs don´t have a magazin for storing reloads.. [8D]
Maybee (IMHO) something for the wishlist.

That's true for some battlesets but not for all of them, by a long shot.

8/16 means 8 rounds availbe of 16 total rounds/shots on the mount. This Value has zero do do with the reloads. AFAIK there´s no way to check if a unit has a magazine with reloads.
BTW in HCDB the magazines are not used on all units. Only on some!

Your Victor I carries a total of 18 weapons: 8 anti-sub torpedoes, 8 anti-surface torpedoes, and two Starfish nuclear ASW missiles. I'm guessing you fired off all your ASW or ASuW torps ?

Thanks for clarifying that one! [8D]

Yeah, Soviet subs often had two different sized torpedo tubes using 2 different torpedo sizes. Further divided into anti-surface types and ASW types. Confusing huh?
Make sure to check the target types on the torpedo loadouts for SEA or SUB on those Soviet boats.

As far as i know the game has no code for magazines on subs.
Do you have an example where subs can reload there tubes??

Make sure to check the target types on the torpedo loadouts for SEA or SUB on those Soviet boats.
In this particular case, the Victor I in game has 2 533mm mounts of 3 tubes each for a total of 6 tubes. ROF is 1 shot per tube per 60 seconds. So in 2 minutes, you can easily fire off ALL of your ASW or ASuW torpedoes. And without the ability to replinish in game (maybe that will change some day), you are just out of luck now.
BTW, each mount carries 4 of each type ASW and ASuW, and a single 'special' weapon, which can only be used if you have special weapons release granted.
And you are correct, some Soviet subs had torpedo tubes of different sizes. Usually in the 533mm and 650mm sizes, though there is the occasional 406mm size as well.
Also don't forget that some subs have tubes mounted to fire in the rear arc, so they may not be available to attack a target.

Haha!
I've been one-upped with details that will further confuse you.
Well played Shark7! [:D]
