I do recall that while Suhren's U-564 was transfering the torpedoes shown in those photos, the last one went to the bottom when the air in the life jackets they were using had slowly leaked and finally couldn't support the eel and down she went.

I'm sure it wasn't a quick job either. As I remember Suhren did this mid-Atlantic 1942 where there wasn't Allied air cover yet.

I don't use the external reloads 'in game' unless-

1) I'm out of range of aircraft patrols.
2) The weather is perfect=clear skies, dead calm seas, daylight or full moon night.
3) Engines stopped.
4) I have enough fuel to make continuing the patrol worth it.
