It's worked for me (sometimes) in the past anyway.
I always found that the problem with offseting a spread of torpedoes is that you are willing to admit that you calculations may be incorrect, and it is better to hit just one than place all your 4 or 6 torps in a single path which may be all wrong. With BBs, which can withstand several hits, a tactic that ensures only one torp hitting is not a good strategy.
