User Guide

NOTE: 53-65K torpedoes are wake homers and can not be wire guided in Sub Command.
To launch a UUV:
Because a UUV is a sensor, not a weapon, it need not be assigned a target in the Target Display to
be fired.The tube is fired as described above.
1. If you want to launch the UUV to a depth other than Ownship depth, first select the tube
containing the UUV in the Target Display and click
P to display its presets.
2. Click the checkmark to deselect Use OS Depth and display the Depth preset.
3. Click a digit to increment its value. Right-click to decrease the value.
To reload a torpedo tube:
Only internal torpedo tubes can be reloaded when underway.
• If the weapon name display reads Empty, click to load a weapon. Repeated clicks cycle through
available weapons.
• To change the weapon loaded in a tube click the weapon name until the desired weapon name
appears.
The red light to the left of the weapon name flashes until the weapon reload is complete.
■ If you click an empty tube and the weapon names do not cycle, the muzzle door for that tube is
still open. Click
M to close the muzzle door and wait until the tube is no longer flooded,then
reload the tube. Remember that closing the muzzle door cuts the wire on torpedoes and UUVs.
NOTE: The unload/load process takes approximately twenty minutes. Loading an empty tube takes
8-10 minutes depending on the submarine. If the
Fire Control Quick Launch option is
selected in the Options>Game screen the unload>load time is cut to forty seconds and
loading an empty tube takes 20 seconds.
NOTE: If a tube number does not light up and the Fire button does not respond check to make sure
there is a target assigned to the tube.Also check the High-Pressure Air bank in Ship Control.
A weapon launch requires a charge of at least 50% in your air banks. For Information on
how to charge your air banks see Ship Stations/Ship Control/Ship Control Tasks on p. xxx.
To launch countermeasures:
1. Click FIRE to open the cover, and click again to fire the countermeasure.
2. To select a different countermeasure or load an empty tube click the name of the
countermeasure. Continued clicks cycle through the available options.
