Because in reality it took so long to reload torpedoes. There was just one type of submarine with advanced loading mechanism during the war - the German Type XXI submarine.
To send a contact report you must have visual contact with an enemy vessel. Visual contact with an unknown vessel is not enough, neither is a radar or sonar contact. You can send status reports any time. |

Did you have silent running on? They won't load at all with it on. Also, in options do you have Realistic Re-loads checked?
Just a couple of thoughts

Clay, if you put you mouse over the tube loading you will see a number such as this 10/100 etc. As time progresses you will see the first number going up 99/100 then 100/100 or fully loaded. Again, place your mouse over the tube loading to get these numbers. You can find the torps loading by hitting the T key. As far as how long it takes...green crew?

I've noticed they load quicker if you are at battlestations.
And for the status reports, I think there is a "cooldown" period where you can't send more contact/status reports.... seems to be an hour or two.

I think the contact reports only work for enemy convoys rather than single ships. Recently when I tried to send a contact report, I could only do so when I had a minimum of 3 merchant ships visible.
