When they had tiger tanks ready for duty they didn't suddenly throw away every other tank they developed before.

That's the same for almost every type of military equipment. You use what you still have even if it's no longer in production. When it's all used up you pray the production of the more modern equipment could catch up to your needs by that point.

Greetings,

All military munitions have a "shelf" life, and most munitions storage locations will Push forward any ammo that's anywhere near expiry.

If this game is even anywhere close to modelling that effect and what "really was" stocked at the various locations, kept maintained, then you indeed would see all the older stock Torpedo's still sitting there.

It isn't just the subs that would be "restocking" at these locations, the schnell boats and any other ships that patrolled near the coasts would also stop or have them brought out to there ships.

Some of the UBoat ports did have difficulty getting stock, as the war progressed and Allied bombing increased. Many of the ammo trains or cargo ships were stopped or disrupted from "normal" deliveries.
- So, what you have at that port is what you get, till additional supplies are "moved forward" from deeper supply storage locations.
- Yes, using the "load what you want and wait for newer stock" does work.

- But the UBoat captain has orders and a timeline to complete these. Some of the missions are or have specific times that he needs to be at any one location or another.
So "waiting" for the best torps is not always an option.

Just saying.

There is a difference between realism and unnecessary mechanics.
If I can completely avoid this realism by just waiting, and if that is intended, then why not at least give me the option to skip time for however long I want so I don't have to buy a free torpedo every time to skip another 8 hours?

I've played the game for like 60 hours now and I never felt any disadvantage of waiting over and over again to only get the torpedo type I want.

At the very least there should be a realism setting to toggle unlimited supply on or off.

Nobody said it's intended to exploit the game like that. It's just an oversight or even more a limitation by what you can do to prevent such things. Just like any RPG where you can skip a day to refresh the offerings of a shopkeeper.

If you don't like exploiting the game then don't do it. For everything else you'll most likely find a mod.

Whats the point of a feedback section if the response you get is to just "get a mod"? I don't want to use mods nor exploits, but I don't want to use torpedoes that have a fail chance of like 50% either.
So I share my feedback so it might just get changed at some point and then I keep doing what I've been doing before.

"I don't want solutions, I just want to complain" also isn't the point of feedback sections you know?

Torpedos are not made of the terrain dust they are stocked at...It's totally normal that the newest torpedos are not available in big numbers, your research has nothing to do with it, just because your engineers know how to build them doesn't mean they will produce them in big numbers, warfare doesn't work like that, you need to work with what's available.
If the devs see it that way they will never change the current system.

My tip is if you want the newest torpedos: Load only the newest torps, leave port, go in a zone where you have full TC, then return to port and load newest torpedos, the stock will be refilled. That's a design workaround, not a feature.
Also, loading torps in your sub will take time, check the stocks again after time has elapsed, chance is that new torps are available (like other goods to buy like explosives.)
