I don't remember name of the Kaleun that sunk Royal Ark, but he reported that immediately after firing his 4 bow torpedoes the boat almost surfaced because of sudden loss in weight (happily they managed to keep it submerged).

Actually it's unrealistic to use the 'Salvo' switch at all; they didn't have one. Salvoes were fired one at a time, about five seconds apart. Firing that rapidly would still cause the problem you mentioned. I'm just pointing out that they didn't hit one button and fire two or more torpedoes automatically.
