Default Recharge Time torpedoes and fuel at ports

I see the charging time of the torpedoes and fuel in the ports is not real.

This is configured in the same game or is there any mod which modify this feature?

Do you mean a waiting time for the harbour or port to refit you? In sh-4 there would be a popup box saying that refit would take 5 hours or so. In sh-5 there seem to be dockworkers from hyperspace that refit you before you can blink your eye. Unrealistic and not to mention unimmersive and another example of dont fix it if it aint broken . Lots of things like this were removed or not carried over to sh-5 for some reason. But as far as i know there is no mod for it. But i guess there will be somewhere allong the line because it think its not to hard to do.

The wait four hours message in the pop up box after replenishing in SH4 wasn't in the vanilla game. It was added by either RFB or TMO mod (can't remember which offhand), and even then the player wasn't forced to wait 4 hours before leaving port.

So it's not something "taken out," it's something that was never there to begin with.

I'm not aware of any mod that forces the player to wait that legnth of time, but there's nothing stopping the player from waiting a certain time before leaving port after a refit.

As far as the torpedo loading times are concerned I *thought* there was a mod that adjusted them, but can't find it and can't remember where I saw some reference to it.

external torpedo time loadout was modified by tdw in his MO to be more immersive

If oscar19681, is the port for reassembly. It would be interesting to extend this timeout.

This is a good job of TDW, the recharge time external torpedoes.

But I mean I really should take time to recharge submarine torpedoes and fuel, to reach port without leaving the mission.

stoianm excuse my limited English

What would be very cool is a MOD that puts boat next to Dock Crane with Crew Animations loading new Torpedo's into Boat when performing Refit in Port.
At sea Refit would be very diffucult.

I m asking about this mod creation since... Few mounth, but i don t think any modder interrested about creat this...
But it would be great to have 1 or 2 days delay for simple refit of the boat and many days delay ( hull damage percent multiplicator factor ) when your sub must be repaired. We have exactly this system in SH3 GWX, go in port for resuply and you ll loose 1 week or more...

Sorry for bringing back old thread... I just had to!

I did some searching upon the instant refitting of your sub (it's very annoying to me too). It seems to me that SH 4 and SH 5 use the same refit system that doesn't have any options what so ever regarding the refit time. So it's pretty much impossible to change it, unless you create something totally new (like TDW's dll-injection). If there would be some (relatively easy) way to fix this, I'm sure somebody would have fixed it in SH 4, but no.

Best option seems to be to create similiar pop-up text that was in SH 4 mod, "Refit is taking place, wait four hours". It's not the real thing but better than nothing.

Does anyone know the script file that provides the option to refit?

It will be interesting to do this.

The game becomes more realistic ...
