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.

I have a bit less restrictive set of rules:
- the sea doesn't have to be completely calm. If I can use guns, I can reload torpedoes
- speed no more then ahead slow
- no diving while reloading!

Most of the time I reload during the night. I wonder how realistic is that?
