That statement is odd to say the least, you think US subs should have been as advanced as the Germans?? After saying it wasn't so historically? I many ways the u-boats were ahead sorry to say, (Type XXI). However, the USN TDC was actually better than the others, plus they had better radar.

You should not be shooting at long range, and the reason to put a spread is not so every torpedo hits, it's to make sure you maximize your chances in case of a zig zagging target or if he changes course after seeing your torps. Hoepfully also in future subsims (if we get any) the effect on mass and balance of a sub will change after firing so you will know why you can't rapid fire torpedoes IRL.
