I think it IS a failing in the game. Again, a US skipper could very well order a spread---his attack party would set it up and do it. So it would be nice to have such a control, and the crew would simply execute your orders (again, the hardware needn't have been set up to do it automatically, you have junior officers to do that work for you).

There is a reason though, that this was the case.

The torpedos were to be fired 8-10 seconds apart to avoid codetonation, both from prematues, and from the magnetic influence of a neighboring fish. The 8-10 seconds was plenty of time to dial in a spread angle.
