Thanks, it works on the first sub with lvl 37 gunners.

if im not wrong, the first sub needs lvl 37 torpman (at this lvl ur sailor is
only "Gunner"), u should be able to launch torp on the SS1, then to class
ur "gunner" into "Heavy Torpedo man" u must reach lvl 44 and u shall not class it
into "heavy gunner" when it reachs lvl 63 or u sailor wont have torp ability and will
be only a gunner else

Arm sailor lvl 12>gunner lvl 21>Heavy Torpedoman lvl 44 (thats the last specialilty
for km torpman, class it this way)

Thanks.In the Trainworld submarine manual there is nothing more specific than
needing gunners for your sub for KM. Can anybody using a sub let me know what
the minimum gunner requirment is before KM can fire torpedos?
Thanks

Even then you might not be able to fire Torps. Check trainworld.us for the specific
requirement for your KM torp launchers.

Does this mean that you cannot fire Torpedos until you get to the Heavy Torpdeo
man stage?

Its because you're using gunners instead of torpedo men. You want to get the Heavy
Torpedo class at level 44 and keep them there.

I must be a dumbass, I just dont get it. Whatever level of gunner I place in the
torpedo slots, I get that "unmatched level" warning. What am I doing wrong?

As you can see, you can class your Gunners to Torpers at level 44. You cannot buy at level
sailors in the store, only Elites at either level 1 or 12, but you can browse the
trade/barter area and check whether someone is selling cheap KM torpers at level.

You can consider buying elite torpers but those sailors hit the max. Torpedo cap pretty
fast anyway, so sailors with a +12 Torpedo base are just fine. Oh, and reloading does not
affect faster Torpedp reload. Only Torpedo ability does.

Thanks Doomraver.
This this mean that the after selecting a sailor to be an Armanent sailor that you
then progress to Torpedo sailor? Are the elite Torpedo men in the NF store suitable
(at level) or is the info about KM not using Torpedo men out of date?
Thanks

You will need two dedicated Torpedo men in order to fire torps with your sub. And don't
class them to Heavy Gunners once that option is available. If your torpers still don't
fire, they may either not have the required level or not enough experts / vets.
