I have a problem launching torps. Heck, I can't even figure out WHAT voice command to use to fire fish in a surface ship. *Eventually* I'll get it to work in a sub.

The actual fire command is either "Fire Port" or "Fire Starboard". First you have set the racks to either port or startboard though. I'm normally a submariner so I can't remember just now. Something like "Set racks to port." Check the in-game voice command help menu. It's one of the F keys.. F4 i think.

On DDs & DEs
Its first "Tubes Port" (or Starboard) to turn the tubes.
The use "Fire Tube"
On MTBs I seem to recall its "Fire Port One" (or Two) (or Starboard)

I can turn 'em, just not fire 'em!

Guess the machine doesn't like my drawl when I say "tewbes"

I can see how that could become a problem.

I still find myself using my dodgey German accent (Habit from SH2 voice responses) but I swear it works better that way
*Well that's my excuse when i'm questioned as to why I am talking like a moron

The terms ' port ' and starboard ' , apply when in a Torpedo boat .{ example : :: " Port torpedo fire one "
After directing tubes in a surface vessel , by saying "Tubes port/starboard" just say " Fire Tube ".
It's all in the manuals . Much easier with voice .
Oh , and yes don't SHOUT too loudly if your microphone is turned up LOL !!!!

A good LFN man/woman

could sink any of your navy in a floating bathtub. I remember the time I was in the Dinghy HMAS Inflatable. We took down 8 German torpedo bombers just by using a mirror and the sun to blind the pilots. Then we attacked a convoy and captured three vessels using only our paddles and a wet spounge. Hmm on second thoughts i don't think that ever happened.
