Some tips
Load your tubes in a mix
Have two set for high speed and 5-8 Ft depth use these on destroyers
Have four set for slow speed but running deep say 8-10 feet for merchants
Use keys w to selct tubes quickly
Use key q to open the outer doors ahead of your shots so that you save time
Sequence w to selct tube q to open the muzzle run down all the tubes you plan to use
then go back to tube 1 hit enter to fire, w to change tubes enter to fire, w enter etc
This will allow you to fire almost salvoes...
PS try to spread the offset from boresigt by 2-3 degrees ahead of the shots ths will also improve your ability to sink targets with well spread hits...
Most of all this game requires patience...
Luck be with you...
