That was less a tutorial and more...showing off. It does demonstrate a fast-90, though there are better videos out there for learning that technique.
Case in point, it took about five tries to get it right. ("A battleship? What a wonderful surprise!")
Edit: Let me amend that by saying that attacking more than one target is inherently dangerous. The simplest way is to find small convoys with only one escort, destroy the escort, and then go to town on the merchants. A submarine's greatest weapon is surprise. To attack multiple targets you either find a way to make sure that your torpedoes impact nearly simultaneously (as in the above video) or you sacrifice your greatest weapon at great peril. As soon as the first torpedo hits, all escorts will immediately begin searching for you and all targets will immediately alter their course from your carefully plotted attack approaches, making any further targeting increasingly dangerous.
It can be done as in the above video of attempting to acquire multiple targets in a short amount of time, or by using the fast-90 to attack two, three, four targets that enfilade themselves as they cross your bow. Due to perspective and distance, the further ships will cross your shoot bearing earlier than closer ships, even though they will all be in a row as their AOB's hit 90 (meaning the torpedoes will all impact at the same time).
