If I recall though even in GWX the spacings can differ. My favoured technique is to get between columns and lie doggo at periscope depth. The usual spacing is 1000m so I try to put myself in between so I can fire the stern and bow torps at targets. I tried this tactic with a convoy in '43 once and was very disturbed to see the spacings were down to 500m. Nearly got run over. Had no option but to dive down and fast. This of course brought the escorts onto me.
Very unfair I thought.
