Normally torpedoes were fired 5-10 seconds apart to prevent interference. German u-boats did have a selector switch that would set up a salvo. What is not clear is whether this automatically fired the selected tubes in sequence, or just told the torpedomen which tubes were to be fired. Either way, it is probable that even in u-boats the tubes fired several seconds apart, and for the same reason; not all at the same time, as is done in SH3.
