In my US and UK SS3's I have 6 torps to the front and 2 to the rear. If I use my normal tactic of firing gradual from the front, spin around and fire the rear torps, then spin around again, my front torps are reloaded about the same time I bring my tubes to bear on the target. NOW, if I were to be firing simultaneous, 6 torps in one shot, and firing another salvo again 4 or 5 seconds later, then THAT would be ridiculous, but my "endless torp spray" really isn't endless at all, it's just timing. You also have to factor in there are many people who have been playing subs so long that they have a lvl 110+ crew that was raised SOLELY on subs, and haven't gotten anything new in almost 50 levels. Given the experience drain for unmatched crew to ship level, the fact that they have gotten their crews that high takes some serious patience and playing, and when air and submerged speed get nerfed repeatedly the fact that some subs even get as far as they do is a damn miracle.
I do have to agree though, that the reload time does seem a bit fast to be realistic here, but then again, if we were playing a REALISTIC game here, I should be able to sink a BB5 with one well-placed torpedo right underneath the keel ;-) There are "unfair" aspects to all ships in NF, depending on what end of it you are on. I'd have loved to see the crew in WWII that could reload 18" BB guns in 5 seconds or less!
