A couple reasons. One is it just got to be a habit with me because I first learned the fast 90 method and fired from 500m. From that range in stock SH3 there was a good chance of sinking a ship with 1 torpedo. So I got in the habit of firing just 1 torp and seeing where it hit and with what effect. Being I was so close doing a fast 90 (the torp running time was like 22 seconds) I had plenty of time to fire a second if necessary. (note I think the ships in GWX don't go down as easy) So anything over 8 tons and and just fired 2 right away but still do it seperately.
None of that would apply though in this situation, from 2000m. But I still don't like salvos because none of the torpedoes go where you aim the crosshairs. Where you point the crosshair is the center of the salvo and then each torpedo goes a certain number of degrees off that center depending on what you choose for the spread.
I always aim one torp at the stack. Actually in the example above I was a bit in front of the stack because I was pre-occupied with making screen shots. If you have enough time to do 3 to 5 plots of the target you can get enough accuracy to to aim one at the stack and one in between center and bow.
If I was firing 4 torpedoes then I probably use a salvo with a 2 degree spread from 3500m, provided I ever get weather in game where I can see that far again.
