pad152 -> Torpedo supply/resupply (10/4/2008 11:46:34 PM)
Do the new torpedo supply/resupply rules apply for both ships/subs/PT's & aircraft? How will float planes that carried torpedoes and the ships that carried them be handled, such as the I-400 class subs (sub carrier SVL or SVD [;)]) & M6A1 Seian Float Planes? How will CS, AS, AD, or AV's effect the supply/resupply of torpedoes? If I base a CS, AV, or AVD at an undeveloped atoll, will float planes still be resupplied with torpedoes?

Ships is unchanged. You need a large port or tenders to replace your torps. Aircraft have torp loads built into the ships that carry them and HQs from land bases.

So ships like a CS and subs like the I400 will have torpedo loadouts for float planes that carry torpedoes? Will AV's provide torpedoes for float planes based at an undeveloped atoll?

AVs do have torp loadouts for the planes that use them.

Will PT,AS tenders and other tenders that have torpedo availability will have a torpedo load like carriers or availability is driven from base supply like for land based aircrafts?

SamRo115 -> RE: Torpedo supply/resupply (10/5/2008 9:05:36 AM)
I think Ship lunched torps like the 21" VIIc are handdeled the same as WITP vinila.

Well land based aircraft need a HQ with a torp capacity now but no, tenders just need supply. There is no loadout on tenders.

At least in stock and a couple of mods, the Ise and Hyuga conversions never carried any Seiran bombers.

Yamato hugger -> RE: Torpedo supply/resupply (10/5/2008 3:04:29 PM)
In AE, the I-400s carry Glens. At least when you click on them in the reinforcement track in Dec 41. Maybe they upgrade later when the plane is available, but regardless. The I-400 has no torp loadout for its aircraft therefore they cant carry torps on strikes.

Not by default, but most floatplanes can upgrade to the M6A - atleast in CHS. quote: ORIGINAL: Yamato hugger In AE, the I-400s carry Glens.

While I tend not to build these, they were historically intended to launch torpedo armed aircraft and thus should have that capability.

If the M6A1 Seiram is in the database (the plane was designed for the I-400 subs), there needs to be some allowance for the ships and subs that would/could carry them!

Yamato hugger -> RE: Torpedo supply/resupply (10/5/2008 5:15:35 PM)
Someone that knows something about the editor is going to have to answer that question. My best guess is no, there isnt a spot in the SS database for it. But I'd be about 80% certain I am wrong on that also [;)] Like I said, I know nothing about the editor. Never played with it.

khyberbill -> RE: Torpedo supply/resupply (10/5/2008 5:22:48 PM)
Everything I have read on this plane implies it was designed to bomb the Panama Canal and/or other strategic targets, not torpedo them.

Elouda -> RE: Torpedo supply/resupply (10/5/2008 5:41:42 PM)
Ive read that the standard loadout for the I-400s was 4 torpedoes, 3 800kg bombs, and 12 250kg bombs. The attack on Panal Canal called for a strike with 6 torpedoes and 4 bombs. The kamikaze attack on the american forces at Ulithi in '45 was to use the 800kg bombs.

Considering the I-400s were meant to carry three A6Ms, thats at most 1 torpedo sortie, and 5 bomb sorties with 1 equipped with 800kgs. If the planes survive that long.

rominet -> RE: Torpedo supply/resupply (10/6/2008 2:50:56 PM)
In AE, is there a possibility to force planes to carry bombs instead of torpedoes? For example, i want to launch a raid on an ennemy surface TF but because of a high expected flak fire (at 200feet), i prefer to attack at high altitude with betty with bombs!!

It is your choice to use bombs instead of torpedoes.

M6A did not have a centerline float like the A6M2-N - so all weapons were carried on centerline. Thus Im pretty sure it didnt need a modification to carry even the torpedoes or 800kg bombs.

You find a picture of one here http://collections.nasm.si.edu/code/emuseum.asp?profile=objects&newstyle=single&quicksearch=A19630308000

Not alot of info on the plane, so being forced to google [;)], a consistancy that cropt up was that the plane was designed to be either recoverable, or ditched on mission completion (minus the floats). Armament is listed as 'either' a 250kg bomb, or an 800kg load. It would seem that the recoverable loadout would be with the smaller bomb load while the latter would be sans float hence requiring sacrifice of the plane after mission completion. This would track with what Peattie wrote of the plane in his book "Sunburst" (on Japanese naval aviation)

I doubt the floats would be attached. They arent needed for takeoff.
