When there are no more torpedoes.....

For historical reference, if a U-Boat ran out of Torpedoes before the patrol was over, it would enter its patrol area and serve as a weather boat.
If it came across a convoy, it would shadow it and report it to BDU!

That's correct...

But for SH3 purposes, it doesn't have any consequences...

I think the same, it's a matter of experimenting and seeing how the SH3 reacts in each circumstance. I suppose that the reloading of torpedoes from the outer reserve must be done with the U-boat on the surface, is that correct? Greetings!

That's correct... If you are not on the surface the outer reserve slots will appear greyed, meaning that they are not available unless you surface to start the procedure

Very fastidious operation and very risky ... U boat couldn’t dive in case of sudden attack....

Indeed!

Via Blair, it depended on a few things what the next orders would be; how long the boat had been out, practicality of re-supply, etc.

Sometimes they'd be ordered to return to base, sometimes other orders (weather, resupply here, etc.).

Hello Commander! That would be the most sensible thing to do in real conditions. I hope the SH3 reasons it in the same way! Danke Herr Kaleun!
