Yea - i've never trusted the salvo fire functionality. Rather, I fire my own spread firing the tubes one at a time, while moving the periscope crosshair along the target ship. If you want, aim a bit infront and behind the ship if you really have no idea how fast its going (like maybe a TF). This implicitly deals with the angle problem. I think this method is about as fast as a proper salvo because they fire in sequence anyway. Might not be as historical as you'd like though.
