How´s it possible?

I know that it´s impossible to use the deckgun or the flak when it´s stormy weather.
That´s allright by me, but I was wondering how is it possible to reload
the torpedoes from the external reserve when its windy and high waves?

I thought that the torps where stored in some sort of compartemens on deck and that the where manually moved/loaded to below. Is that right? How did it work?

For me it seems that reloading in a storm is a very risky project....:hmm:

That's one of the places where the game is messed up; it does let you reload 1-ton torpedoes from the external storage when the weather is too heavy for gun use. Also in bad weather you shouldn't even be able to load the internally-stored torpedoes - it's just too dangerous.

I only reload externals when the weather is dead calm and my boat is at a full stop.

in RL often they would do it with decks awash as it made torpedo
handling much easier and the job go faster.

Here's a few scanned photos to give everyone an idea of what such an operation entailed.....I have a few more, and will try to dig them out after I've had a bite to eat

Great pictures! That looks like a really miserable operation there. Even in calm seas.

Very nice photos jimbuna.
That really gives an idea how it was and nothing that was done in hard weather.
