Firing a salvo at multiple targets

Okay i have become fairly good at launching torpedoes manually without the weapon officer's assistance and i got a decent hit ratio. But when it comes to shooting a salvo at several targets i can't seem to get it right.

Maybe i should explain a bit the way i do it. Hmm so i usually use the fast 90° method where i plot the target's course then position myself ahead of the ship i want to shoot at, at a 90° angle or closer to 45° when using magnetic torpedoes.

Now i have read that when you do that and your periscope is pointing at 0 or 180 bearing then you can switch the targeting computer back to auto and when you move the scope, the firing solution will be adjusted on the fly.

When firing at multiple ships though, when you switch to the second tube does it reset the firing solution? or can you simply adjust the range and fire like that?
