1. Open tube doors by selecting tubes and hitting 'Q'. Doors will stay open until torp is launched, or manually closed.
Yes
2. Decide on running depth, speed, fuse settings, etc, and set for each torp individually. Changes will "stick" to the torp, meaning that I can set individual settings for each tube (like in SH3).
Yes
Now here comes the part I'm most unsure of. Let's say I want to fire 3 torps at a target.
One method I could use is to use the lock function ('L' key) to target the centre of the ship, then use the spread angle on the torp settings panel to adjust a few degrees left and right for the selected tubes, then fire the tubes sequentially.
Yes
Another method I could use (I think) is manually aim the scope at say the bow, fire, change tube, aim at centre, fire, change tube, aim at stern, fire. I could do this in SH3 quite successfully if I eschewed the salvo option, is it still the same here?
Yes
Another question - I presume the range readout in the position keeper (the panel that slides out on the left) is in yards (I have imperial units selected)?
This can be changed to either Imperial\Metric in the game settings.
