Ok, I've uploaded the files, I don't think we can get much closer than this...When I find some spare time I'll update first post to elaborate everything in details...

A suggestion: in game, u-boat performances are affected in several respects by crew promotion points. I don't know how realistic many of the passive and active abilities implemented in SH5 are (for sure Rongel's Reworked Morale & Abilities got ried of the most unrealistic ones), but your mod should also take this aspect into consideration. In general, I would expect the specs reported by your sources to be the optimal figures, attained by a full trained crew.

Just ignore this post if you have already dealed with crew abilities

Thank you very much vdr1981

Do we just load this mod up through jsgme or do we have to manually load the changes?

Hi Bandit, the mod is JSGME ready, manual changes are not necessary...

I think I've found the way to modified torpedo reloading times. Also, I found this statement on the net which says:

Reloading (torpedoes) was phisically demanding work and could not be carried out on the surface if there were more than moderated seas or any danger of having to dive suddenly.
To reload, men and bunks had to be moved out out of the way, torpedoes unlashed from their storage position and the winched up with chains and finally
manhandled into the tube.
Trimmimg the boat slightly bow heavy made it easier to heave them downhill, but despite this, it still took a good A GOOD HALF AN HOUR TO RELOAD ONE.
Therefore, it is not difficult to appreciate that a boat have to remain submerged
for more than an hour to reload three or four torpedoes, and this was long enough to lose an entire convoy at sea, meaning another spell of running on the surface
at fast speed before getting into another favourable shooting position.

Is this statement correct?
