The genesis of this question is rooted in the Soviet campaign that I'm working on. I've build 10-ship convoys that the player has to attack - with the old 30-second reload, the player can infinitely spam the seas with torps, and a miss is not a big deal. With a 7 minute reload, and 6 tubes on some Soviet vessels, this will add a deeper tactical layer to the game I think. Missing a ship, or wasting too many torps on the same target will become a problem. It's already a problem in my play testing and that's with a 30 second reload.
