The T Class, Gato and Balao submarines also have a unique characteristic: They have six bow and 4 stern torpedo tubes, but here a little explanation needed. SH2 has a limitation in its interface when it comes to the number of torpedo tubes (Max. 6), so we had to overcome this problem by creating "virtual" torpedo tubes. This means that, despite seeing only 4 tubes, you will in fact have two more shots from your bow tubes and two more from the stern ones, but you will not see the green/red lights for them. The needle will simply stay on tube 4 while you fire tubes 5 and 6, or in tube 6 when you fire tubes 9 and 10 (Rear). This is the closest we could achieve. Sorry. But better six fake tubes than only four real ones.

What may frustrate you a bit is the high value of duds you will get with your early war MK14 torpedoes (Until mid 1943). This is realistic, so don't blame us for that. If you get sick of this, play with Dud torpedos off in Realism options.

Didn't you read the readme?
