Actually, last night I ran into a small convoy of about 6 ships near the Celebes Sea. I found two medium sized freighters mixed in with some other ships in roughly two rows of three.

I targeted the lead medium freight and set of a 3 torp spread around it (a small freighter was in line with it in the row in front of it) with less than 1 deg variation on either side.

I then shot, quickly locked the other freighter (same mast data and speed) adjusted AOB, took stadimeter range and put a three torp spread around it.

Managed to hit four ships because of the row arrangement and spread.

I got one torp into each of the two lead ships (one missed) and nailed all three torps into the other pair farther back (1 and 2 torps respectively into first row and far row)

They all sank, unfortunately I had to dive a while after the last salvo because an escort got curious and I only got credit for the two I watched sink in the scope.

I was in a balao and went real deep, got out without a scratch.
