Torpedo Targeting Question(s):

I have a few questions regarding torpedo targeting and firing:

Is using the "L" key the same as constant bearing tracking as on a real sub?
If I don't use the "L" or constant bearing key but I follow the target with my targeting scope is my torpedo bearing going to shoot where ever my cross hairs are looking?
I was reading that 1 degree at 2000 yds. is equal to 100 feet separation. So at 1000 yards I'm looking at only 50 feet spread. If I've got a destroyer coming directly at me and I set up for a bow shot am I better off doing a larger spread such as 5 degrees which would equal 250 feet separation either left or right depending on where I am.
