Bad weather is your friend now. Try reloading at night in bad weather.

Good thing our crew can't be washed off deck!
As a realism catch, I force myself to reload in calm weather (the test being if the gun crew can man the gun) and all-stop. This makes it tense because depending on where you are, it might be interrupted. There's a quirk I've found - if you are forced to dive while the external is being loaded, two things can happen. If the torpedo is less than half-way loaded, then the torpedo goes back into the external store and can be reloaded again when you surface (sometimes it even carries on from where it left off!). If the torpedo is more than halfway loaded, the torpedo is lost - I guess the boys just shove it overboard.
