US submarines didn't have this feature, and neithre does sh4. Instead, you select an individual tube and apply a so called "spread" to the already established gyro-angle. So you can fire tube 1 straight to Middle of Target, tube 2 with a spread of 2 degrees to the left, tube 3 with 2 degrees to the right. voila salvo control.

And you can have all the tube doors open at the same time or do you have to wait for the last tube to fire ?? |
No, you cant have more tubes opened at the same time.  |
Maybe that is how it was? |
I don't think so, based on the number of accounts I've read. In "Thunder Below" it seems like it was SOP to open all the bow doors prior to shooting.
In the software I don't see why this is a big deal (not having programmed for a long time). The virtual door translates into a delay prior to firing. So all you have to do is turn on/off the delay on each tube as the doors open/close and keep track of status.
However, if this was done I would also like to see (if not present already) the increased chance of flooding if an outerdoor is left open during a depth-charge attack. My understanding is that the tube caps and inner door were no where as strong for resisting blast compression waves as the outer doors were.
