It just bothers me that all the time they spent making these compartments and crew that we will watch ONCE they could have been making a sim that fixed the REAL issues we had.

I know some of you really wanted to play out "Days Of Our Lives" but I think you really lost sight of what a sub sim should be. This is the "Sims Cancer" I guess. All the while you are worried about the animation of the loaders you have missed the really important stuff.

We should stay focused! Like this---> http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=161754

I couldn't agree more. Let's get the SUBMARINE SIMULATION part down before we worry that Hans isn't cranking the wheel fast enough.

There's complaints that the crew look laid back and I think the guy winding the torpedo forward has an easy job. I think RL the handle had to be turned much faster to get that speed, so that would make him look a bit more energetic. But the animation doesn't affect how long it actually takes to do a reload.

Also, here's a snippet from U-Boat.net about the type 21 from this link http://www.uboat.net/types/xxi.htm:

Also they had hydraulic torpedo reload system that enabled the commander to reload all 6 tubes in something like 10 minutes which was even less than it took to reload one tube on the VIIC normally.

The 'laid back' crew seem to do it in about what 30 seconds? They were hardly caught napping.
