It took the boat 3-5 hours to re-charge the batteries with the Schnorchel once every 2-3 days if travelling at moderate 4-8 knots and was thus much less in danger from aircraft which sank about 56% of all U-boats lost in the war.
Are we sure that's a full recharge? I just want to be sure. Some batteries last longer with a partial charge. Plus, if U-boats were under threat from air attack they might only recharge using the snkorkel during hours of darkness (3-5 hours). The other thing is, if they're travelling at 4-8 knots, they will get up to 2 days' travel from a partial charge. Unless it says it's a full recharge it may not be bugged, since 5 hours will get you half a charge, which may well last 2-3 days at 4knots.

I think we need harder facts before we're rolling on the floor laughing about the supposed 'bugged' state of the game.
