I take it there were two doors an Inner and an Outer, but how were these activated - were there separate controls for each or were both linked together.

There were 2 doors, exactly as you see now in the game, though operated independently, I'll explain why: The outer, elongated one is just part of the careenage of the boat, i.e. of the external hull with hidrodynamic shape and is surrounded out and inside by the external water that enters between both hulls -external and pressure. Then the second one (round, smaller) is what effectively leaves the torpedo exposed for shooting. This one is only opened after pressure equalization with the exterior water. If the boat changes deep you would need to equalize pressure again (Otherwise you would not be able to open the external door if higher pressure outside, or the torpedo would be sucked out before firing if less pressure outside) but this is not reflected in the game. For this reason both operated independently.
