Fired a lot of stuff and suddenly can't fire anymore?

[OneShot]

You fired maybe a couple torpedoes and other stuff from your sub and suddenly you can't fire anymore. Everything else works perfectly, you can load, open and close muzzle doors, flood and all that - but the final launch wont work?

Take a look at your High Pressure (HP) Air. Go to the Ship control station of your submarine (Key F1) and take a look at the HP Air display. If your HP Air is below 50% you need to charge it - otherwise its not possible to launch your weapons.

To charge you have to come to Snorkel depth and stay below the max speed, otherwise you will break your snorkel mast :

Seawolf : 54feet / max. 10kts Speed
688I : 56feet / max. 10kts Speed
Akula : 19m / max. 10kts Speed
Kilo : 17m / max. 10kts Speed


Once at the right depth click the appropriate "Ventilate" and then "Charge" buttons on the subs. For more detail check the manual.

You can charge 10% without ventilating. =)

Consider it "recycled air."

LOL! I am such an ASS! I have had that problem many, many times. But always on a saved game were the critical objective was met. And i thought that being the critical was met caused the problem. Cant belive i missed that:redface: But now the big question, Do you expend more air fireing deep over shallow?

I'm not really sure if there is a difference simulated. Actually I'm not really sure if there is a big difference in real life (but I guess so). So that would be up for testing. If you want load up a mission go as deep as possible and fire as much torps (or whatever) as possible. Repeat this with a shallow depth. If you can fire an equal number of torps, then it doesnt make a difference, otherwise of course it does.

2% air expended at 60 feet and 2% at 1250. Same for vls launches.

38% is the point of not enough air to fire. And you can charge 10% like molon says. Thanx for that tip M8!:you_rock: Came in real handy tonight.
