i just use the vls so for example if i had vls anti ship missiles 12 of id also add the decoys to vls as as a number because vls is basically external tubes whether missiles or torpedo's or decoys is just tube size so if i add 6 that is the six external tubes and vls is not re loadable so that fits nicely i get what you are saying tho you want six displayed extra tubes that are not re loadable

my solution atm is just to use vls so 8 torpedo tubes then tube 9 as switchable external weapons source

example :

VLSTorpedoTypes=wp_p700,wp_moss_mg-74
VLSTorpedoNumbers=12,6

i have a idea to hard code some vls as individual displayed tubes but got a lot on atm if that,s possible yes that,s the best option and also would work well as a ammo count for decoys & vls but then we got the huge problem of fitting each displayed tube on the screen
