Phobus,

I think you are quite right.When firing a salvo dont forget the distance they will split apart in relation to the spread angle you choose.
About the actual spread,say you fired tubes 1,2,3,tube one will spread to the left,2 down the middle (or your point of aim),and 3 will spread to the right.
Do you also know how to target multiple ship parts with your spread?.If not then follow this-
If you want to hit the funnel section and one of the fore masts,or even the bow to shear it off,unlock the scope,place the crosshair over the funnel section,record the bearing number,then move the scope to the front mast or whatever else you want to hit,record that bearing,and work out the difference between the two,this then is your spread angle.

Is this helpful to you?
