During Alarm engineer should keep torpedoes warm

[Hariwulf]

I have two, one dedicated to torpedoes, and never keeping them warm unless I keep micromanaging him. It's common sense tho.

Check if he's on duty at the time you want him to maintain the torpedoes. If he has it as one of his tasks, he'll do it even on alarm, but only when on duty. The alarm just forces him to a non-rest state and he'll always prioritize damage control because it has a higher priority somehow.

Of course he is, he just goes to do anything else

My torpedo guy does what his tasks are in the schedule even on alarm while his duty hour is set to green. He'll eventually do something different when all torpedoes are maintained already.

If this doesn't work in your game it's either a bug or just something in your schedule that isn't right.

Silent running enabled?

Keeping torpedos warm makes noise. It's up you, as The Captain of the Uboat, to decide when it's a good occation to warm up the torpedos.

For some it seems to much to keep in mind. But, I like the challange to have to keep a lot of stuff in mid and have to plan ahdead. So much more satisfying when you score that hit!

No, basic attack routine

The point is, he was told (both in his schedule and manually ordered) to warm up them torps. He should leave the area only to sleep, basically. Especially during an alarm.

But then again, AI did miss those anchored ships, so maybe there's something amiss with the AI in general.
