I'll try.
To reload a torpedo you have to do a bunch of things.
At first, you need to dismantle half of the torpedo-room to lay open the torpedo (reomve the bunks etc.).
Then you have to crank the torpedo in front of a tube by a manually driven crane, not an easy task if you consider that a torpedo is 6 meters long, 53 cm in diameter and has a weight of ca 1.5 tons.
After that, the torpedo has to be greased and put into the tube. If you have an electric torpedo, you also have to warm the batteries before that, something which isn't even simulated in sh3.
So the 7 1/2 minutes reload-time in the game are quite optimistic in my opinion, considering the fact that all the things described above have to be accomplished by ca 10 men in a small, hot room with bad air and hardly enough space to move, even without a torpedo hanging amidst them.
