It's got nothing to do with modelling, it's just that in this instance the SHIII let you plan out and do the angles of several torpedoes at once which would have been possible for all submarines, since each torpedo was separately and simultaneously programmable, rather than sequentially as this interface forces you to do.

Not so. The Germans actually had a selector switch, as represented in SH3, which let them preselect the tubes to be fired. They still fired 5-10 seconds apart, for practical reasons. American boats did not have this device. That said, you should be able to open all doors at once (which you can't in either game unless you do it manually), set the spread angle and then "Fire one! Fire two! Fire three!"
