So yeah those torpedo guys really do do some work in that torpedo room.
Yeah I mean it's something I hadn't the luxury of watching out there at sea when conducting attacks, just wasnt time to go sight seeing in the sub, but when getting a refit at Heligoland I got a chance to watch them do thier stuff.
They go through the whole nine yards too, from opening the hatch using the hoist and rail, greasin it up, then cranking it in and then pushing it the rest of the way and then closing the hatch.
Heh, and here I didnt think they did much more than stand around and look at things.:hmmm: I didn't get but a couple shots, I was too busy standing there marveling. but I did get two.

In real life you had to maintain the battery torps every few days, pulling them out of the tubes, checking this or that. So it would be cool to have these animations play for those actions.

Also that's why you only put steam torps in the external storage. SH will let you put batteries up there but it's a realism no-no.
