How to load mines in tubes?

[cato]

When i drag the mines into the tubes nothing happens.

Do you have an officer selected before you interact with the tubes?

I'm doing it on the torpedo screen that opens when you click the bow and stern icons on the sub, then dragging a mine onto a loaded tube. I've tried that with and without an officer selected. Is that how i'm meant to do it or am i screwing up?

[Ultimoron]

if there is a torpedo in the tube allready, you have to unload that first. atleast i did it that way...

I too am currently trying to figure this out. Maybe you have to be in port?

no idea here - see the round things in the tubes when I loaded at the port then did the whole wait thing but now I am at the dot at sea and it says that they are not loaded in the square in the top right corner. What am I missing. I can't seem to load at sea?

Remove all 8 storage torpedoes in dock! That way you'll have room to unload a torpedo. I had to unload (fire, since I didn't leave room!) a torpedo from one front tube, then was able to drag over the mine.

I used one of my officers (the one on torpedo maintenance anyway) and added two sailors to help them out. It still took a considerable amount of time even at 48x! I'd highly suggest loading all four bow tubes before you get to the area. You'll still need to reload two tubes with mines once you get there as well!

I needed to direct my officers to unload torpedoes and load the mines, but then was able to control them via the mission info at the top-right. It had a button to deploy mines from there if they were loaded

I finally got it done by firing all the torpedos which meant i could load the mines. Seems a bit weird but i'm sure the devs will make it a bit more polished as we move on.

Also noticed some weird destroyer behaviour at the mine laying area, crashing into each other etc.

Uboats going on minelaying missions would load the mines in the tubes first, then replace them with torpedoes once the mines were laid.

Makes sense i suppose good to know. Maybe the devs could add a message in port to remind people who don't know.
