loading external torps during foul weather & night

It surprised me that they could load eels, but not man the flak guns during bad weather.. I load them as soon as possible since you never know if a convoy is just over the horizon..

Good Hunting..

When the mission demands, I work my crew like the dogs they are.

Rough weather? not a problem, the torpedoes are lashed securely. If any of my crew is lame enough to fall over board, I will find one to replace him.

WORK UNTIL YOU DROP DOGS!!

(seriously, it would be a nice add-on that if you are reloading externals during rough weather that there is a chance you might lose someone)

I do that, and also in rough weather, i do not reload the actual tubes on the surface, but submerge to do so.

Good idea for a Mod, a 'man overboard !' Mod

didn't they have to open special hatches to lower the torps into the torpedo rooms?

it seems like rough weather would cause a lot of water pouring down into the torpedo room.....like tons of water....

also, as for loading torpedo's at night.... how would you see what you were doing at night? did they use lights?
