Good idea. I think the most realistic way would be to cause some heavy flooding and some lost torpedoes when dive during external reload, but that will be hard to program, so your idea could be easier to do. What delay for diving could be realistic? 10 minutes?

Hi h.sie,

I wanted to say what Delareon has written. In a storm you can only reload torpedoes when submerged, i.e., you can only reload internal torpedoes and you need to be submerged (your boat must not move/roll too much).

I think a penalty of 10 min would be fine. Depending on the reloading status it might be 2 min as Hartmann has written (at the beginning and end of the reloading process) or perhaps even more than 10 min (if torpedo is partly in the sub ). I guess in real-life it varied a lot.

I some old thread someone came up with 10 min as a house rule.

Maybe someone knows if it ever happened that a boat had to dive during external reloading
