Hi Frau
Your comment raises some excellent thoughts to be fair.

I think that my playing of the game is quite realistic in that there's no way I would begin to bring a torpedo inside, espcially when we are in conditions where the game won't even let me man-up any of my guns due to the rough weather, so I thought "if it's too rough to man the deck gun, then it's to rough to transfer those external torpdeo's/eels"

Then I had another gripe - I thought, that given that for the last two patrol's where i've expended alot of eels, the weather's been so shocking I've not been able to transfer them what's the point in carrying them in the first place?

I can very much also see the point of that I will begin to play un-realistically if I turn those external one's into internals using a modification, and if I was going to do that, I might as well cheat some more and say for example carry over 20 eel's like some of the bigger u-boats did (or did they?)

I am wondering if not taking that additional weight in terms of the external eel's might help fuel consumption or milage, or am I thinking too complex and too far out of the box in terms of SH3 and it's game engine?

Regards
Gary
