We're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat
Does anyone know if they ever plan to put the Type IX in this game? Classic as the VII is, the thing just does not carry enough torpedoes. I need at least 22, so if we can't have a Type IX, have they mentioned any external torpedo stowage?

Honestly would LOVE to be back in my favorite class the IX. Some of the reason I played SH3 and 4 instead of 5. This game is good but when I get that type IX itch have to play one of those.

Oh, geez. I searched for that, too, but I searched Type IX so it didn't pop up. Thanks.

I see your taste is impeccable.

I have not. For whatever reason, SH3 with GWX developed some kind of recurring memory leak and now it won't go away even with the vanilla game. I can play for the first two years or so before the game begins slowing significantly until it crashes on loading any nearby objects outside of port. Obviously, that is extremely disappointing, as I earn my type XXI boats with my playstyle, probably to the point of deserving an Akula, but at least I've got U-boat and its excellent gameplay. Still needs more torpedoes, though.

Some of why I use NYGM. Always seemed to have technical problems with GWX.

I'd honestly rather see them add a Type IX than a Type XXI.

The torpedo count already accounts for externals storage. The Type VIIC only carried 7 internals 6 forward 1 aft, the other two were external reloads. I'm still waiting for the fix or mod that moves one of them to the back as it should be. The aft launcher should have 2 reloads not 1.

I was thinking, the new narrative mission feature could be used to add the external reload process to the game in a real way. Locked based on speed, weather, and possibly time of day moving the torpedoes inside could be a self interaction just like any off the boat mission. Depending on where you're patrolling it'd really make you stop an wonder if those last two are worth floating on the surface helpless for a few hours.

Please accept this points reward for having U-Boat empathy, and also Steam not giving any rewards for technical knowledge.
