Firing Torpedoes

I have been reading a lot of patrol reports lately and I am wondering if the skippers that rack up large game tonnage totals are not firing like the WW2 skippers did. I am seeing a lot of reports of firing all the bow or stern tubes at a single target. Doing that in the game and 20,000 tons would be a very successful patrol.

So I am wondering how many torpedoes Subsim skippers fire at a target? I send a salvo of 4 at each target to allow for the target slowing or turning when they detect a wake, to get a sinking.
