Or, is it a "fire and forget" scenario,Open tube door "Q",before you fire, when you hear "torp in water", unlock, & go to next closest target. Helps if target is helming broadside under 1,000Yds., when you fire. where the torpedo will swim at the section of the target it's aiming at, after it's launched, and you can then move the periscope to another ship?

Learning something new, every day. Thanks!
If you are firing a 2 speed fish, set to fast at under 4,000 Yds range.
