I love longitudinal spreads, shot with the PK off. But if you're in smooth water in the daytime they can sometimes be avoided if you aren't close enough, especially if you're shooting from ahead of the beam of the target. The further ahead of the target's beam the easier it is for the target to merely turn into the torpedoes and let them pass on the outside of his turn.
With divergent spreads, the most divergent is stern, MOT, bow, then MOT, stern, bow. Since the torpedoes take different paths to the target they are more difficult to avoid. Avoiding one will most often put you more perfectly in the path of another.
