Obscure WWII US Sub Question
 

So, I'm starting to think that this is a bit too obscure. Either that or I'm not doing something right. Is this thing on? ;)

Cool. Thanks. The effort is appreciated. And if you, or anyone can't find an answer it's not the end of the world....... or is it?

Problem is, finding this info is made all the harder by the fact that you wouldn't be sent back to sea in such a short order after a reload of that kind. I could understand the fueling part on a trip back home, but there's nothing realistic about going back into patrol after reloading a full complement of torpedoes right after calling port. You and your guys would enjoy a few days if not weeks in land quarters before the next assignment, and reloads would happen in the days prior to you leaving port again.


My point is that you might want to make reloading last as long as it took historically, but don't want the administrative process to happen like it should historically. That's not one of these things that make the game more realistic in the end - arguably clicking on "end patrol" does that already :O:

I should check this more often.


What I am talking about may have never happened in real life, I don't know, but what I am talking about is if let's say a boat has been only out for say 2 weeks, and for whatever reason it ends up shooting off all or at least the vast majority of it's torpedoes (in SH4 this has happened to me very rarely maybe 3 or 4 times). I am guessing, and it is only a guess, that the decision would not be made to send the boat all the way home again, but rather reload (and re-fuel for that matter) at a flotilla. I guess I should have used that key word in my original question.



How long would it take to take on a complement of 24 torpedoes and re-fuel at a ->flotilla<-.


My fault for not stating my question clearly :damn:.
