Default Technical questions about WWII subs

Hello I'm in designing phase for a WWII I wish to code. At the momment I'm taking care of the game's UI (using windows controls only). I am in great need of understanding some aspects of WWII u-boats related to torpedoes.

1 - The torpedo loading sequence.
How long to load a torpedo? How many crew members were involved in such task?

2- The torpedo's setting for bearing, speed and depth.
Does this requires the torpedo to be out of the tube?

3 - The torpedo firing sequence.
What happens once the inner door is closed? Is the torpedo flooded when opening the outer door? How long does it take to flood the tube?

4 - Unloading a torpedo which was already flooded.
How long to empty a flooded tube?


Thank you.

PS: if someone is interested in the project, please do let me know. I will gladly describe what I intend to do.
