It takes longer to type all that than it does to actually do it. Remember to re-aim the periscope and send range and bearing for each torpedo.

Yep, that can work too at short ranges, and as you say, send a range/bearing each time you fire. It's important to remember that unlike the German subs, the TDC is not slaved to the periscope, hence the need to continually send a new bearing.
